Lecture on Alcoholism


I went to a lecture on alcoholism and wrote down all the symptoms of living with an alcoholic or sick person.

anxiety
depression
adapt to the abnormal
no boundaries
you're not good enough
damage to self-esteem
damage to self-confidence
guilt
anger
frustration of not having needs met
broken trust
miscommunication

It is only natural that someone suffers with these after living with addiction or sick people.

I think the issue for me I was codependent before I met the A.  Living with him made me much worse but now I am not living with him my issues are far from over.

Aloha Lisa!

Those lectures are very informative and I remember going to some myself that increased my awareness.  Increased awareness is a must.  Additionally that list that you wrote down is also some of the very same things that the alcoholic suffers from as a result of the disease.  This disease has no favorites!!
