or even offer to take them to your CoDA meeting so they can see what it s like. Third, after you have shared your story and offered information, then let it go. Our First Step reminds us that we are powerless over others. We can t make someone else try CoDA no matter how badly they may seem to us to need it. If you find that your sense of serenity and well-being is shaken, that you are obsessed with this other person s codependency, then your own codependency is being triggered and that won t be fixed by trying to get someone else into CoDA.

You may find your own recovery growing deeper through all this, and that is the greatest Twelfth Step message we can have.
