Frequently, upon getting sober the source of one’s trials and tribulations are their relationships. The guilt, resentment, and need can be so overwhelming for the individual or their partner (albeit friend, spouse, lover, sponsor) that the discord and/or unfulfilled needs/expectations lend to relapse. Alcoholics and addicts are accustomed to relationships that are chaotic, dysfunctional, and one-sided. So, how do you know when you are in an unhealthy or co-dependent relationship? How do you know if you are the source of the dependency and/or problems?
