 %ADDICTS CODEPENDENTS SEE RECOGNIZE HEALTHY PEOPLE 910423

     Addicts  and  codependents  need to be encouraged  to
look around  and  recognize that there are people who  are
not having  the  same difficulties which they  are  having
in life.   People who  are  healthy  need  to help addicts
and  codependents   to  see   that  life need  not  be  so
trying---by    demonstrating  that  life need  not  be  so
trying.      The  demonstrations   need  to  be  as   non-
threatening as possible.

     For  demonstrations of healthy living to help addicts
and   codependents   to  see  that   there   are   healthy
alternatives  to their styles of feeling,    thinking  and
behaving;    addicts need  to   have personal acquaintance
with  healthy  people,   rather than  be  isolated    from
healthy   people.    Putting addicts  and codependents  in
prisons  with more  people  of their   own  kind  isolates
them   and  deprives   them  of familiarity  with  healthy
people,    and  so  deprives them of  demonstrative   role
models  of healthy living.   It  is  not surprising   that
people in prisons do not  recover  their health!
