Codependency, Addiction, and The Landmark Forum.

As many of you know, Second-Hand Addiction is my term for the people who love addicted people. They are the innocent victims of the sickness, if you will. Therapists call these same people codependents, and they will say that codependents are just as sick from the drinking and drugging that happens around them as the addicts are…if not more so. Unfortunately, Second Hand Addicts do not always realize they are living with addiction. they do not see how drastically they are affected by addiction, or that they need help. They often know they are desperate- but don’t know exactly why or what to do about it. Hence the reason for my blog.
