"Codependent" is more than just a word joked about in sit-coms. It is for real. But it is so difficult for the person who is codependent to realize it. They don't intend to control others and everything around them - that is just their comfort zone and how they deal with life. But they need to learn how to love themselves and to care for themselves. The rest of the world will appreciate it and they will live longer and love more fully. A good read.

The information in this book changed my life. I also keep it on hand to reference as needed. I finally found a book that described me, and taught me how to be a healthy person emotionally.

A fantastic book for codependents like me. This book opened my eyes and my situation, my behavior and years of misery. I realized that the one thing I could change and control was just myself. I had spent all my life trying to control and change other only to fail miserably. The book is based on alcoholism but applies to every kind of addiction. It is strongly inspired by the Al Anon principles.
