Impact on a child when they are made the surrogate partner

My desperation has gone away.

Complete program. [It] made me look at things I’ve been running from for 26 years. Beauty was that it also gave me the tools to cope.

The nurturing environment combined with the accountability was exactly what I needed to begin breaking through my codependency habits.

This has been the most formative experience in my recovery. It has broken through my denial and into more of who I am. It was integrated directly with my individual therapy.

I believe the BCP is a wonderful program that opened my eyes to issues and problems I had been denying for years. It benefited my recovery because I now know my relationship with my wife was heading towards a disasterous end. I feel this program has stopped that course and given us the tools for recovery and comunication that will last a lifetime.

My overall impression of the Beginnings Care Program in regards to codependency and addiction is both informative and supportive! Giving me the opportunity to learn, grow and heal rather than continue with all the negative coping. It has also benefited my recovery by helping me to ‘detach’ and be healthier while doing so.
