One definition for insanity is, "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I first learned this definition in Alanon.

In the Alanon 12 step program you learn that you didn't cause your loved one's alcoholism, you can't control it and you can't cure it.

Can I ever trust my alcoholic again? This was a question I knew I had the answer to. It was a no brainer. After being lied to over and over while my wife was actively drinking - the answer was a resounding NO!

If I take a searching and fearless moral inventory, I realize that by putting others needs in front of my own has led me into a pattern of codependency.

Meditation, like the Alanon recovery program is what you make of it. You have the power to define what it means to you and how you go about it.
