The Twelve Promises Of CoDA
I can expect a miraculous change in my life by working the
program of Co-Dependents Anonymous. As I make an honest effort
to work the Twelve Steps and follow the Twelve Traditions...
1. I know a new sense of belonging. The feeling of emptiness
and loneliness will disappear.
2. I am no longer controlled by my fears. I overcome my fears
and act with courage, integrity and dignity.
3. I know a new freedom.
4. I release myself from worry, guilt, and regret about my past
and present. I am aware enough not to repeat it.
5. I know a new love and acceptance of myself and others. I
feel genuinely lovable, loving and loved.
6. I learn to see myself as equal to others. My new and renewed
relationships are all with equal partners.
7. I am capable of developing and maintaining healthy and loving
relationships. The need to control and manipulate others
will disappear as I learn to trust those who are trustworthy.
8. I learn that it is possible to mend - to become more loving,
intimate and supportive. I have the choice of communicating
with my family in a way which is safe for me and respectful of
them.
9. I acknowledge that I am a unique and precious creation.
10. I no longer need to rely solely on others to provide my sense
of worth.
11. I trust a guidance I receive from my Higher Power and come to
believe in my own capabilities.
12. I gradually experience serenity, strength, and spiritual
growth in my daily life.
