last night I went to my first codependence anonymous meeting in years. I have only been to a few meetings before. I am proud of myself for going back to meetings because it isn't easy. it isn't easy to admit that I'm codependent. for the first time I talked during the meeting. I joined a new group that was smaller which made it easier for me to talk for the first time. now I just need to find the courage to show up to my second meeting. I just want to let anyone know who's looking for support that codependent anonymous meetings are free and you can do them from the comfort of your own home or in person.

Thank you for your kind words and support. thank you for taking the time to share your coda journey. I proud of you going back to meetings after a long break.
what did it feel like in your body when you shared for the first time? was it relief, fear, both?
I felt relief to share my story for the first time. it's hard to put into words how freeing it felt to finally, share out loud to other people that I had just left abusive relationship. I felt like I was no longer living a double life. I didn't have to pretend to be in a happy year relationship when I wasn't.
this made me tear up a little. i remember walking into my first meeting again after years away. admitting i was codependent felt like swallowing glass. but speaking out loud for the first time? that was HUGE. i’m really proud of you
