Your Journey Continues
Am I Codependent?
The Patterns are a tool to aid in self-evaluation. They help us understand our codependency. The Patterns are not an indictment of character or personality. Codependent traits are learned perceptions and deeply rooted behaviors we adopted to survive life, our family of origin, or other systems or relationships.
What are CoDA meetings?
A CoDA meeting is the heart of our recovery program. A fellowship of people, many with life experiences similar to yours, come together to follow the Steps and Traditions of the program. Through sharing our experience, strength, and hope— we find peace, love, and acceptance.
Recovery Patterns
