In addition, as those of us who are knowledgeable about addiction know, both addicts and codependents have just two primary ways of being...They are either the action or the reaction. The aggressor or the aggressee. I lump myself, by the way, into both of these catagories at various times in my life, as I am a former codependent, and I have also struggled with food addiction.



As I say I am a former codependent, I can almost hear the gasps from astonished addiction's therapists and counsellors everywhere. "She must be in denial,' you think. Because we all know codependency does not go away. And I would have said the very same thing 8 years ago, before I took a course called The Landmark Forum.

'How could this be?' I can hear your perplexed voices- especially those of you in the recovery field, who are fighting the endless battle against codependency in both the Addict and Second-Hand Addict alike.

It is because The Landmark Forum and all Landmark courses deal with our past, and putting our past in the past so that it no longer runs us. As a general rule, we Addicts/Second-Hand Addicts are fraught with dis-empowering pasts and it was in these dis-empowering pasts that we created our 'kill or be killed', action/ reaction ways of being. Now recovery specialists have fought long and hard to help people deal with their pasts so that they could move forward . We all know the past runs us. But these pesky pasts keep popping up their heads- and mucking up the works of recovery. So you could hardly believe that a course or education could complete a past so fully that it looked as if it had never happened.

I can only tell you from my experience what it is like. This year I struggled greatly with finances. I tried to add another job but did not get an interview for a whole year. Then in a landmark Course I put the past in the past. That week I had three interviews and I now have several possibilities for a job to choose from.

Now I want to tell you that these things I put in my past were blind-spots to me, and I never saw them in all my years of therapy- except through the powerful technology of that course.

And that is what the Landmark Forum does. It turns on a dimly lit light-bulb in your brain.

So do the Landmark Forum, whoever you are. And if you deal with addicts and codependents, and they are healthy enough of mind, have them do it to. You can visit my blog for the website. Then let me know that you did it and how it went. Or better yet, email me and I will personally register you for the course. It would really make my day to have you get something this monumental for your life.
