Codependent No More

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful book for healing ones self.
Review: Melodie Beattie is an author that not only speaks to people minds, she speaks to their understanding of life and ones choices. This book was given to me by my psycharist and it saved my life. Beattie understands the high and lows of life because she has been there, which makes her even more compelling to read

Summary: The beginning of my inward journey
Review: After spending six years in another 12 Step Fellowship and succeeding in arresting that specific compulsion/obsession, I found myself repeatedly in destructive relationships. Not knowing why I kept on sabotaging my recovery process and being terrified of NOT having an intimate relationship, I came across this book. The hope that I once felt in my first few years of recovery from my primary compulsion/obsession came back into my life. The author, through her own experience as a professional and fellow co-dependent, offered me a glimpse into my inner-being. The journey continues . . . .

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is an excellent book for the lay person. It is heart felt and easy to follow. The author talks directly to you as you read and as a reader you are able to grasp so much helpful information. I have suggested and given this book to two of my friends. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for help with co-dependency or even remotely thinks they may be co-dependent. It is money well spent.

Summary: I am not alone
Review: My dearest friend in the whole world gave me this book. I can honestly say that it has brought me back to the person I've always wanted to be, returned me to reality, and probably saved my life. I now have two copies so I can loan one to friends, and keep the other for those needed moments. Ms. Beattie has done a great job with connecting you to the book, and making you realize there is light at the end of the tunnel. Tis book will change your life.

Summary: Helped me UNDERSTAND myself
Review: Codependency No More, in my opinion, is an excellent book for anyone to read. This book helped me to understand myself, why I am the way I am, and how to improve upon myself and love myself instead of putting myself down. It's helped me understand the effects of having a father who drank too much. Also how the drinking affected me and my first family. And how this affects my marriage and all other relationships in my life. This book is one to be kept on the shelf after reading for future reference.

Summary: Why I wrote this book; why I believe it's message lives on.
Review: A warm hello to all my readers. I wrote this book thirteen years ago, hoping maybe 500 people would read it, but believing in its message enough to write it anyway -- because the ideas in it were changing my life. The ideas in CNM have since spoken to millions, and they keep speaking to me. The need to take care of ourselves, and own our power -- our true spiritual power -- seems to increase, rather than decrease, over time. Thanks to all my readers, and I'm grateful to God that my work has helped all of us, including me. Melody L. Beattie

Summary: This book came to me at a time when I needed it most.
Review: Codependent No More, was given to me to read during a personal crisis. Without it I'm not certain how I would have, otherwise, dealt with the experience. Within it, I found myself in so many places - not all, but in many. I keep it on my nightstand and read parts of it as reconfirmation that life goes on and we are forever growing and conquering obstacles within ourselves. No other book has ever held such fascination for me. My gratitude to its author is sincere.
