A fix is a means to maintain the illusion of having solved a problem, without having addressed the problem openly and honestly. The personal relationships of the addict are dominated by attempts to obtain fixes. People are means to obtaining fixes. People who fail to provide fixes have failed to fulfill their duty to the addict. People who might offer a fix and fail to offer a fix have failed to fulfill their responsibility. Parents, lovers, codependents, etc. may become trapped in efforts to fulfill the expectations of the addict who looks to them as the source of fixes. If the judgments of the addict are taken seriously the codependents become imprisoned in the frame of mind of the addict, a servant to the addict's attitudes. It is wearing to constantly try to be a fix to a problem which is not being addressed openly and honestly. It takes a good Christian suffering servant to keep it up for long, especially when such sacrificial service is helping the addict remain addicted to the service which is offered. It is important for people who have dependents of any age, young or old, not to fall into the pattern of codependents in their relationships with addicts. The process of slipping into such a relationship is not at all obvious, and people need training to recognize the beginning of the process in themselves and in others. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
