As many of you know, Second-Hand Addiction is my term for the people who love addicted people. They are the innocent victims of the sickness, if you will. Therapists call these same people codependents, and they will say that codependents are just as sick from the drinking and drugging that happens around them as the addicts are...if not more so. Unfortunately, Second Hand Addicts do not always realize they are living with addiction. they do not see how drastically they are affected by addiction, or that they need help. They often know they are desperate- but don't know exactly why or what to do about it. Hence the reason for my blog.

In addition, we who know addiction are well aware that addicts and codependents only have two ways to be in life. They are either the action or the reaction, the aggressor or aggressee, the controller or controllee and so forth. And I myself find I have fit into both categories as a former codependent, as well as a person who has struggled with food addiction.

As I say I am a former codependent, I can almost hear the gasps from astonished addiction's therapists and counsellors everywhere. "She must be in denial,' you think. Because we all know codependency does not go away. And I would have said the very same thing 8 years ago, before I took a course called The Landmark Forum.

Now those of you in the recovery world balk because you know what it means to fight the endless battle against dangerous codependency in both the addict and the Second Hand Addict.

Now there is a very good reason why Landmark Education courses and The Landmark Forum have the ability to virtually erase codependent traits. And here is what it is. The tools in these courses cause people to complete their pasts so fully and so quickly, that you would almost believe that the person had never had that past. And we all know that the addict or codependent often has a sordid, dis-empowering past that is just waiting at any given moment to cause trouble in his or her life.

For me, I can tell you from practical experience. I recently went through a very rough year of financial struggle. In a year I did not have one interview in my hunt for a supplemental job. Then I put some of my past in the past through these courses. Inside of a week I had three interviews and I am now sitting on several possible jobs.

Now I want to tell you that these things I put in my past were blind-spots to me, and I never saw them in all my years of therapy- except through the powerful technology of that course.

And that is what the Landmark Forum does for people. It turns on a long burnt-out light bulb.

Now I speak to everyone, but particularly to the therapists and addiction specialists when I repeat, I did not see any of this and I would not see any of this, no matter what you said to me, without the technology of The Landmark Forum. And this is why you want to get your people as long as they are healthy of mind, into the course called The Landmark Forum. And you also want to take the course yourself. The Landmark Forum is for everyone, since everyone has a past. It is particularly for you who work with addiction because you have to experience it to recommend it, and you can't in good conscience ignore this powerful tool for the people you help. So take The Landmark Forum, and send your people to it. Be sure, of course, that anyone you send is fit and healthy enough to accept the insights and memories he or she will encounter. Then go to my blog and let me know that you or someone else took The Landmark Forum. Even better yet, email me and give me the profound pleasure of signing you up for this powerful course myself, as it really makes my day to be involved as we all heal and grow... In fact, it's why I do what I do.
