When we only deal with the specific addiction, we tend to switch from one addiction to another or to have "cross-addictions". We must face each of the specific addictions and the underlying addictive process together and separately for recovery to proceed."<br />Anne Wilson Schaefkbermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087236840097045265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-13655699162710291682016-03-30T11:56:56.796-04:002016-03-30T11:56:56.796-04:00Great post.

I went through 3-5 addictions until I came to what I call the 2nd recovery--codependency. I think codependency begins when a child learns how to take care of an emotionally needy adult. The child becomes the parent. So we begin very young. Hard to give it up. Such power. I can feel it now and halt it as it is beginning by asking myself "Is my love being returned?".kbermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16087236840097045265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-3189754629106635462016-03-27T17:23:09.448-04:002016-03-27T17:23:09.448-04:00It is sad but a reality in what you say.

The addictions, no matter what kind can become a symptom of deeper issues that must be addressed at some point.<br /><br />Excellent point Syd that we must only deal with what we are capable of doing. Rescuing or coaching in an area in which we have no knowledge or experience can result in harm for both.Dad and Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204246139693620329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-78300598474299918712016-03-27T17:21:09.524-04:002016-03-27T17:21:09.524-04:00Ah, Syd.

It has been raining here for three or four days now and the slow, good kind of rain that the earth can absorb and hold. It makes me feel as if all is well, at least for a moment, in my world.
