Context or Content?

If you're an active addict... that also means you're a codependent.

It's NOT POSSIBLE to be an addict of any kind, food addict, sugar addict, sex addict, control-aholic, drug addict, alcoholic, verbal abuser/ scream-aholic

none of the above... if you are one of those, underneath it all you are a codependent.

And if you're NOT an active addict, then you're what AA calls a 'dry drunk'.

You still base all incoming data, all internal decisions you make are from the context of being an addict... only thing you've changed is your drug of choice.

Either way, an addict has a particular world view, a global world view...

You're looking at the world thru a pre-supposition, Tony Robbins describes this as a Global World View characterized by Global Beliefs.

It's a context, the content of what you believe, content of what you respond to, content of your behavior is secondary to the context.

Codependency is a disease of irresponsibility.

Having said that, it's most definitely NOT to your advantage to punish yourself with guilt or shame.. you're already way too good at self deprecation as it is.



Lastly underneath all of the above is this premise:

You can not be codependent with out being a victim on the inside... not the 'act' you show to the world, what I'm talking about is having a victim context.

You see, the content is relatively irrelevant if the context is Victim Behavior

And lastly, this context is something YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF

You're doing it and you don't even know your doing it... and you:

think it's normal

think everybody else thinks the same way you do

if they don't think like you, you think thier fucked up

that's enough for now...I gotta change my grandaughters diaper
