Are you codependent? December 24, 2008
Just what I needed! This book was very helpful to me! I got alot of great instruction from this book, I started reading this thinking it was for someone else and came to find out I could apply the information to my own life! Very, very helpful!

very enlightening book December 16, 2008
The book starts out a little rough but gets more to the point as you read. Very imformative for someone dealing with issues of alcoholism. Right on point in that respect. I would recommend this book.

This book will change your life December 4, 2008
This book gives you tools to break destuctive behavoirs that all co dependents have . It is very freeing and unlike most books give you something to do instead of just describing the problem. I have given this book to many who were blessed as well.

Helpful in so many ways November 13, 2008
This is the book that started it all. I know it is cliche but, this book has changed my life and my thinking...br /br /I was talking to my father on the phone one day and I was explaining to him how I have no problem exercising and eating right when Otty is gone but I can't seem to keep it up when he is home. My father then asked me if I wanted to know what that was called...he told me it was called co-dependence and that I should start learning about this by reading a book called Co-dependent No More. I pretty much ran out right away and purchased the book. br /br /Now, I have never been a big advocate for self-improvement books, but I have to say that this book was very enlightening. Co-dependency has a different definition for everyone. This book made me delve into my own retched thoughts and confront them head on. br /br /This book made me realize that I have a voice and an opinion and both matter just as much as the next person. I realized that I can make decisions and not have to worry if my opinion is what other people may think or want. My opinion is exactly that...my opinion. It is okay to have an opinion that is different than someone else's. br /br /I also learned that I need to detach myself from the people in my life that cause me harm...emotionally, physically, doesn't matter...br /br /Though I may not struggle with an abusive alcoholic, I still struggle with the internal doubts and feelings of self worthlessness. I have learned that I do not need to immerse myself so deeply in someone else's life that I lose myself. I can keep my individuality while sharing my life with another. If we have conflicting views...that's alright. br /br /When I first read this book, I figure that I would not post my feelings about it because they were too personal. However, now having some distance from the book and being able to employ the lessons I have learned, I am able to share myself with others. br /br /I am not perfect and it is absolutely acceptable for me to let other people know this. Maybe, by sharing these thoughts, someone else might be inspired to read this book and better themselves as well. br /br /

Eye Opener November 10, 2008
This book was a huuge eye opener for me. If you believe you might be codependent or want to find out more on the subject- this book is for you. It contains many examples of real people; as well as a list of habits and traits a codependent generally possesses. It also offers helpful tips to break the cycle and possibly change your life. I recommend this for anyone who is, thinks they might be, or have a codependent in their life.
