Co-Dependent No More

A friend was telling me about this great book. I would not have guessed that I am co-dependent but as she was describing the personality characteristics I saw an image of me. Sad to admit huh? Well, I realized when she was explaining these traits that I look to others for approval which is why I literally obsess over getting comments on my posts and I am a people pleaser. I want to do things for others to make them feel better and I sub -conciously expect the same in return...YIKES...that hurts to admit. I secretly am offended when others don't do what I think they should do ...BIG YIKES! I am afraid of saying no to people even if I don't really want to do something for fear that they will be hurt...not considering myself..EVER. It is so liberating to let this mull around in my mind and get it out in the open! I am definitely getting this book for more reasons than one. I am excited to learn how to work my way out of co-dependency. I feel like the Lord has been gracious to help me discover these things about myself and to have someone just mention something at random(ha ha) that relates specifically to my current struggles. I can see very plainly that learning how to cope with my weaknesses and giving this struggle to God is going to make a huge difference in my life. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, figuratively speaking, and it looks pretty nice!
