[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 755354, member: 19832"] The thing I'd chime in about twelve step meetings is that if you're lucky enough to live in an area with multiple meetings, try a few to see which one seems a good fit for you. For me, in a healthy meeting there is no crosstalk, which means members don't comment, give advice, etc. about anyone's sharing during the meeting. That doesn't mean you can't ask for feedback after a meeting. This rule is sacred to me. There should be no judgment. Try to go to at least six meetings before you make any decision about whether a meeting is for you. Coda (codependent's anonymous) 12 steo also focuses on boundaries and healthy relationships. I've been attending 12 step for 20 years. I still have much to learn, but it has changed my life for the better, and I use the steps in all aspects of my life in general. Last thing - I'm reading a good book called Growing Yourself Up, because ultimately the only person we can change is ourselves. All the best to you. [/QUOTE]
