An must read for those seeking release from co-dependency.February 20, 1998 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This book describes anyone who is in any kind of co-dependent relationship. It opens your eyes to the real you, what makes you tick, why you tick that way and how to heal yourself. It focuses on how to change your life from chaos to happiness, restoring sanity and begin liking and even loving yourself. It opens your eyes to the types of behaviour patterns we exhibit which actually make these co-dependent relationships even more chaotic. Painfully honest. It will restore hope, give encouragement and incentive to those who seek healing in their lives from the pain of being involved in a relationship with an addicted person.
So interesting and encouraging; I plan on reading it again!October 5, 1997 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This wonderful book captivated me from the very first words the author wrote: 'This book is dedicated...to me.' Of all the self-help books I've ever read...Codendent No More is the most inspirational and spiritual read. Ms Beattie helped me to tap into my own shortcomings. And I thank her for that because in doing so, I am now TRULY able to move forward in my soul and spiritual growth. I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off my shoulders; I feel a sense of peace within myself that I've never felt before. Codependent No More is a 'must read' for anyone who has been searching for positive and meaningful growth within themselves. YoU WoN't Be SoRrY :)
Good book by someone who understands both sides of the experMarch 22, 1997 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a counselor, Melody Beattie understands well the nature of codependency. As a recovering codependent,she also understands the feelings experienced by the person struggling withthis issue. This book is very blunt, and it has taken me a long time to read it. It is not a one-sitting book. It gives the reader a lot to think about and provides excellent starting points for journaling about one's own experience.
Review from a Recovering CodependentNovember 20, 1996 This book helped me to see myself honestly and within the privacyI needed to face my codependency. Some of the discoveries I havemade have been painful, and the book provided a guide for me to work through them at my pace--I could put it down and pick it up whenever I was ready with no pressure from others. The author has been very straightforward and open in her discussion of both the topic and her own experiences.
