CoDA Weekly Reading 10/1/24
Unconditional Love
Hi, I'm Jason. A codependent in recovery. All of my life I've felt like I didn't belong, like I didn't fit in and that if someone really got to know me that would be cause for them to leave. I thought that as far as relationships were concerned, to really know me was to leave me and if you didn't know me then you couldn't hurt me.
I thought that since my primary relationship was with my father and he abandoned me at an early age.
Today in recovery I see that my primary relationships are with myself and my higher power. He loves me unconditionally and shows an example of how I can love myself unconditionally, one day at a time.
