    You will find many people claiming many different things for successful recovery. I recommend "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie. Perhaps it will shed some light on how you would like to attempt treatment.

    This is tricky. I very much enjoy the company of a mate. I don't mind being co dependent but I still go out and do things on my own or with someone other than my mate. It gets easier the more you do it.

    "Co-dependent" is not the same as "dependent"

    Co-dependence is a specific emotional condition in which the sufferer is dependent upon the control of another.

    Quit trying to fix others, and let God fix you.

    God doesn't "fix us" He gives us everything we need and we need to go out and act on it and help ourselves. Otherwise God would be supporting laziness (sit around chill He'll fix you). Wrong. He has blessed me but I must be proactive and work on it myself if I want to improve. All the while being grateful for all that I'm blessed for.

    You're correct, but without His help- we're hopeless.

    That, crazyhappysad, is impossible. I'm not sure what context you mean, but on the large scale of things you are dependent on the life of everything else, from people to bacteria. And they are dependent, in some way, on your life.
