Pat Springle
Rapha Pub, 1990
Can change your life if you are ready for it!
At a point in my life, when I was hopeless and depressed, I began attending a Rapha 12-step codependency meeting. I had been in so many relationships through out my life and they all ended the same - in heartache!! I couldn't understand it, I gave and gave and could never do enough. I bought this book and worked along in a workbook which is available also. I thought this book was written ...

Melody Beattie
MJF Books, 2001
Excellent pairing up of two winning volume from Beattie
Melody Beattie, a former addict, used to hate codependents (which she defines as "people who have let another person's behavior afect him or her, and who is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior"). Codepdendents are most frequently the family members of alcoholics or drug users, but the definition is broad. Beattie thought codependents were hostile and detrimental to the recovery ...

Janae B. Weinhold, Barry K. Weinhold
New World Library, 2008
Breaking Free of the Co-Dependency Trap
Co-dependency has become one of those buzzwords for our modern culture. Most of us use the term to describe someone who suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction. Therefore, when we think of co-dependency, we tend to think of programs like AA.
Breaking Free of the Co-dependency Trap states that possibly 98% of the human population is co-dependent. It's not lack of self control. It's not a ...

Amazing!
I've read hundreds of self-help books over the years. Because there weren't many reviews on Amazon.com on this one, I wasn't expecting much. But, I thought I'd give it a try, as the title dealt specifically with a need I had in my life. WOW, this book was really a blessing...it's one of the best books I've ever read. It has practical steps that will help you reprogram the way you think, and ...

Beyond Codependency: And Getting Better All the Time14 reviews
Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 1989
READ ALL ABOUT IT**** THE REAL STORY
The truth of the matter is:
We don't want to hear it and we make any excuse to deny it. This book is a denial killer!
I have been in recovery for years and let me just tell you, Beattie is right on top of the root problem. No matter who reads the words, the truth is loud and clear. I would recommend this item to anyone having problems with any relationship.
You don't need to be a ...

Codependents' Guide to the Twelve Steps18 reviews
Melody Beattie
Fireside, 1992
Help is on the Way
I was skeptical at first about reading a book on the steps. I wasn't sure if it could help me. I had attended a few meetings and thought I knew some of the concepts, but this book opened my eyes. I think that Melody Beattie is very personal and caring in the mind of a codependent. She made me feel like I wasn't a bad person and I could recover from the out of control way my life has been. I'm ...

Hazelden, 1992
A life preserver.
This book is a sanity saver. There are some inspirational things to take away from reading it. Beattie injects her own life story into this self-help book. Coupled with her other books, it makes for reflective and well written advice.

Grandchildren of Alcoholics: Another Generation of Co-Dependency1 review
Ann W. Smith
Hci, 1988
Whammo!
Ever wonder why your spouse can't handle criticism? Ever wonder why they are a perfectionist? I just sort of accidentally ran into a passage of this book somewhere on the net. Found it here and Whammo! Nail on the Head! I felt like I had found my personal bible/instruction manual for someone who was close to me.
The crazy thing about alcohol abuse in grandparents is that it doesn't get ...

Excellent
I could not put this book down and at the same time I felt really uncomfortable reading it because I saw so much of myself in this book. If you or someone you know struggles with codependency I highly recommend this book.

Taking Care of Ourselves
A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I bought one for myself. What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life.

Uplifting Guide
Anyone believing that codependency is a burden should read this uplifting guide. The authors' patience and support for showing that the same personality traits that are used in hurtful behavior are the ones that can be transformed into beneficial ones shine throughout the book. Step by step they lead through the process of transforming "thorns" into "jewels". One of my major "thorns" was to feel ...

Really looking at your life can be scary, but as the Lord shines His light on those dark places while you work this program, the authors continually ...
