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.

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.
