But, if I don't then I'll be alone. They'll leave me. I'm not enough without....
Have you said these words or thought them? Or felt them? Or maybe you're unsure why you need others the way you do? Maybe you live in judgment of feeling this way? What is this survival mechanism doing in your pocket? Why won't it go away?
There are many things behind this and they can be explore and revealed with time and patience.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor)
Growing up in a home with an Alcoholic parent can be an unstable experience. You never know what to expect. If you have experienced chaos in your childhood, dealt with unpredictable mental state of your parent, and witnessed and responded to ongoing unsafe situations, then this will be familiar to you. In an unpredictable home, it can be difficult to trust yourself and your experiences. To survive, and avoid, sometimes you need to bottle up your feelings so much that you forget how to experience emotions. When your needs are ignored, seeking approval from others can result in losing your own identity. Feeling responsible for others can outweigh your own needs and wellbeing.
I have been providing counselling services in the community since 2014. I have supported many people who have a loved one struggling with addiction. I am excited to support you as you heal from some or all of the above experiences. Counselling can also help you set healthier boundaries in relationships and start putting your own needs and safety first.

Codependency is a phenomenon that I find not discussed too often anymore. I look at it as when a person becomes dependent on helping or "fixing" another person. I work with clients to uncover their own sense of self, to seperate what they (can/should/need) to do for who they are underneath these beliefs.
