Transformation

Hi, my name is Colleen. I have been a member of AA for 30 years but joined Coda 10 years ago. Slowly but surely my life has been transformed by working the Steps in the CoDA workbook. I attend meetings Thursday night and also every Sunday.

I have always been codependent, but I never knew. I felt broken and a waste of space. 30 years ago, at 18 years of age I slowly started to put myself back together one piece at a time. What a process and long journey!

I continue to move forward little by little. I have taken breaks but never lost sight of HOPE. Being codependent is at my core, and today I have been set free from bondage of self for the most part. I remain humble, honest, willing, and open to new ideas. I am blessed. Thank you.
