Not just a book, a life guide!
Whatever type of addicted loved one you may have, or even if you just feel that you are a co-dependent, this book will change your life. I've read this book over the years and along with Al-Anon have learned a new way of thinking and LIVING! Before this book, I was in a black hole of co-dependency. I don't know what I would have done without the help of this book in my struggle to climb out of the black hole. I've had numerous copies of this book and have given many of them away to people who were desperate like I was so I have to keep ordering new ones. This book is a must-have for co-dependents. The author is brilliant.

Ok book but not for me
This book had some helpful advice but personally I felt it was like an AA 12 step program book. If your a recovering alcoholic and religious then you may like this book but for me that was a bit repetitive and irritating. The one thing I did like is it just has short readings for each day. Honestly some people may really like it but it wasn’t for me.

Great daily read
I have bought this little book for at least a dozen people. Anyone who has had some trauma in their childhood can benefit by reading this daily. Whenever they start the book, I suggest they sit quietly and read 10 pages at a time from the beginning to catch up and experience the wonderful insight into recovery. Also, read each day, starting from day book is received. Go forward with both suggestions until end of year and then start over again. I’m on my 25th year of reading and it stills great value.

Al-anon, co-dependency and enabling have daily support and knowledge through Melodie Beattie’s insights
One of the best authors on co-dependency and enabling out there and this is an excellent source of support and knowledge for daily living and growing out of unhealthy behaviors by recognizing ownership of our part of the cycle of addictions

Love this book!
This book is awesome. Every year you will see the same daily meditation and prayer differently. Your growth is measurable when you internalize the content and begin living it.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE DAILY MEDITATIONAL!!!
Melody Beattie nails it again with her daily meditations inspired by her deep insight & knowledge on the subject of codependency. The index is very helpful. If you're having a special problem or circumstance you can look it up ie......anger at family members, gossip, nurturing ourselves etc.....so this book can be read as a reference or use as it was intended. I LOVE IT & have given it as a gift many times over....it IS that good!!!
