A Little Humor For The Codependent & The Alcoholic - Let The Recovery Begin With You

Monday, April 13th, 2009


Loving An Alcoholic has a pretty diverse following:

Those who love an alcoholic or addict - and - alcoholics & addicts.

Today, I thought I would share a little humor for all - enjoy!

Jokes for the codependent - these tend to hit a little too close to home for me (maybe they aren’t that funny after all!):

  • Q: What do you call a codependent who says “no” and doesn’t feel guilty? A: Healthy
  • You’re codependent for sure when you get kicked off jury duty for insisting that you’re the guilty one.
  • Q: Why did the codependent cross the road? A: To help the chicken make a decision.
  • Did you hear about the codependent who flunked geography? He couldn’t distinguish any boundaries.
  • You know you’re codependent if you find yourself in a rut - and move in furniture.
  • Q: Why does a codependent buy two copies of every self-help book? A: One to read and one to pass on to someone who really needs it.
  • You’re codependent for sure if, when you die, someone else’s life flashes in front of your eyes.
  • Q. What does a codependent have in common with God? A. They both have a plan for your life.

Don’t take them too seriously, but here are some indications that you just might need to consider Alcoholics Anonymous:

  • You have awakened with an overwhelming feeling that you should go back and apologize… but you don’t remember where.
  • The Tipsy Taxi service has banned you from all its vehicles.
  • People consider your spouse a Saint for reasons that totally escape you.
  • The last time you had a legal driver’s license, so did Ted Kennedy.
  • You bought your current pick-up truck because it has a cool place to hide a six pack.
  • “But Officer, it’s been a long time since I tried to say my ABC’s!”
  • All of your old friends are now members of 12-step groups.
  • You know for certain that putting your foot on the floor does not stop the room from spinning.
  • Your insurance agent drops by and mentions your policy does cover treatment centers.
  • The producers of the television program COPS still send you Christmas cards.

Would you like to have your experience and words of encouragement posted?

******PLEASE INDICATE IN YOUR EMAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS POSTED******

As I will leave each post; If you, or someone you know, loves an alcoholic or addict, I would encourage you to find a local Al-Anon 12 step meeting to attend. This is your first step towards healing.
