Codependent No More
---by Melody Beattie.
I finally got a copy of this at the library.
What a complete eye-opener!
Whoever suggested this to me: THANK YOU!!
I will pay it forward now and suggest to each and every person reading this thread to get a copy of this book. I'm not kidding. It's wonderful!
I feel like Ms. Beattie wrote this especially for me. It's that personal.
WOW!

She's very good at what she does. So glad you're getting so much out of it!

Empowered to answer my own question!

Please advise.

I just did an engine search, and YES!! Indeed, there are more books to read. I will do just that.
I appreciate your guidance and understanding! :day6

And like someone else said upthread - I didn't get it the first time I read it. But I waited about five years and then OMG.

I firmly believe you are all right that it's a good book, and I could learn so much from it... I'm just not ready!!

Co-Dependent No more, Beyond Co-Dependency, Co=Dependent's 12 Steps and the New CoDependency are all on my required reading list.
I've read, reread and reread all of them. Most are highlighted, bookmarked and dog-eared.
There are also the accompanying Daily Readers-The Language of Letting Go and More Language of letting Go. Same as above-highlighted and dog-eared......
When I need a boost,kick in the a$$ or whatever, I pick up any one of these books and start reading...again. It sure helps....

Funny, I was just thinking, I will have to get my own copy and not just the library's because there are several passages I'd like to highlight or dog ear or highlight AND dog ear!!
I'm almost finished with my first pass of the book, then I'll go back and do the exercises. and read it more slowly.
LOVE it.

I buy everything I can find by her.
This is actually what made the biggest difference in my life. Although I think it did because I read "Codependent No More" and "The Twelve Steps for Codependents" before that one.
