A cultural phenomenon that has helped heal millions of readers, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency and unlocking its hold on your life.

As heard on Glennon Doyle’s We Can Do Hard Things podcast.

Melody Beattie’s compassionate and insightful look into codependency—the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another—has guided millions of readers toward the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins.

Is someone else's problem your problem? If, like so many others, you've lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a loved one’s self-destructive behavior, you may be codependent––and you may find yourself in this book. With personal reflections, exercises, and instructive stories drawn from Beattie’s own life and the lives of those she’s counseled, Codependent No More helps you break old patterns and maintain healthy boundaries and offers a clear and achievable path to healing, hope, freedom, and happiness.

This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxiety—subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the context of codependency—making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the national conversation over 35 years ago.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great affirmations and options

I loved how this can be affirming and help to see new options. The audio version is helpful when you need to hear it someone else’s voice rather than reading it in your own.

Beattie sharing great skills

I listen to this book over and over. This book helps me to recognize my reactions and how to cope. Hints about detachment are the best.

Women Must Read

My beautiful sister suggested I read this and when I checked my personal library, there it was! initially I was thinking, "this doesn't apply to me. I am not married to an abuser or surrounded by addiction" but I hung in there based on Lisa's recommendation. Boy, am I so happy I did!

What I started to realize was that I was raised by parents of dysfunction, addiction, and religion and many of the behaviors that caused me so much frustration, was probably learned by watching them all my life. Whether or not I want to admit it, I am a codependent and despite all my hours of helping others and people pleasing, I was feeling unappreciated and used up. If that is how your feeling, read this book now and save yourself years of self abuse and frustration.

Life changing

This is a classic and there’s a reason for it. Melody’s direct and honest and raw explanation of codependency and strategies on how to start living your best life, cut through the mess and can change your life if you let it!

Very helpful.

Liked the format of the book, the exercises. New to my journey and discovery of what co dependency is. Books goes through steps in the process.

A must read!

loved it, was glued to it once I started, I felt very encouraged and empowered to take ownership of my life, and taking life one day at a time.

MUST READ/LISTEN

Wow… what a wonderful book!!! Recommend reading when you’re struggling always taking care of others in relationships…

Mindful and grateful

This book provides great, useful information, and tips. The difference between 5 stars and 4 stars for me is due to the lack of insight on the relationship between our power and the connection to a higher power. My personal experience is that meditation helps but only with prayers.
