  %TECHNICAL RESPONSE ADDICT LIMIT DIFFERENCE POWER 910929

     If   what  can  be done to make a  difference  in   a
given  situation is limited to technical responses;   then
who  can make  a difference is determined by who  has  the
necessary   technical    tools,     skills,     knowledge,
disposition,   and resources.

     If   what  can  be done to make a  difference  in   a
given situation  is limited to technical responses;   then
other  persons   who have the necessary  technical  tools,
skills,   knowledge,  disposition,  and resources which we
think we do not have---can do for us what needs to be done
to  make the needed  difference in regards to our personal
problems  and dilemmas;    and  we can be impotent without
any    sense   of  responsibility   to   make  the  needed
difference in our  own selves.

     The  above perception of how things are---is  central
to  the  lives   of  addicts  and  codependents,     their
relationships, and   their  identities.   Their  games  of
mutual   self manipulation/deception  grow  out  of  their
perceptions, beliefs  and  attitudes  that  the  only  way
to    make   a  difference   is   through   indiscriminate
technical   responses  to   both  problems  and  dilemmas;
technical  responses  which are dependent  upon  available
resources and the power to be in  control.    Thus,   such
people   are  preoccupied  with ownership,    possessions,
money,  consumption,  food,  drugs, gadgets,   technology,
work,   manipulations,    understanding,  prediction   and
control.  They have  addictive/codependent personalities.
