This episode talks about how I became a codependent love addict. Helen was an alcoholic who was angry at herself for getting pregnant by a man who had no desire to take care of a child. As I got older, I became a punching bag for Helen's regrets. The more I sought her approval, the angrier she became. Lots of abandonment issues soon developed. When Helen died in 1986, I transferred my codependency to other relationships. I've been working on healing my codependency with the help of Dr. Robert Glover (No more Mr. nice guy), and others.
Today's episode is about gratitude, and how things can just happen out of nowhere. today's shout out goes to a loyal fan named Michelle. Michelle emailed me recently to let me know how much she enjoys listening to my podcast. Michelle took things one step further by joining me in a 12-step meeting that I go to on a regular basis. Being able to meet someone who listens to my podcast meant a lot to me. Thank you Michelle!
A lot can happen in 30 days. During the time between my last podcast and today, My girlfriend had to put her dog down, and the companion dog lost it's eyesight and may need to be put down as well. in between this, my best friend's dad passed away. At some point, I needed to take time to reflect not only on others, but with myself. reflection can be powerful and positive enlightenment tools if used properly.
