PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

When we suffer from addiction, our egos create illusions in order to continue our addictive behaviors.  My addiction is codependency, a form of attachment, that destroyed my marriage and relationships.  I suffered from codependency with my partners and others that ultimately destroyed those very relationships.  Unfortunately, this is my own truth and reality, and pretty hard truth for me to face.

I created all sorts of reasons or “untruths” about my codependency, so as to believe I did not have an addiction problem. That somehow I was justified in this addiction behavior because I did this out of love or that love made me do it.  Dependency or attachment is not love, it is actually taking what we need from another.  I have been guilty of this myself for most of my life until now.

I have taken the important step to face my addiction, promise myself to give it up, and change my life for the better.  I no longer want this life for myself.  As part of giving up this addiction, we cannot continue relationships or friendships with those who insist on continuing in this addictive behavior of codependency and certainly cannot engage in those behaviors.

It is no different than an alcoholic or drug addict giving up their friends and partners who continue to get drunk or high.  We must change our lifestyles and patterns of behavior if we are to give it all up.  Once we overcome our addiction by healing the underlying emotional wounds causing this codependency, then we can have healthier relationships with others.  May you find your truth for your life. ~ Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
