Codependents' Guide to the Twelve Steps

This is a great companion book for anyone working through the 12 Steps of CoDA. Meetings were helpful for me to hear others' perspectives and experiences and were a necessary part of my recovery journey, but this book allowed me to do work at home between meetings at my own pace. Melody's approach is compassionate and thoughtful. She provides extensive examples and ideas to mull over, consider, and apply to your own life and recovery. I highly recommend this book to anyone ready to embark on the fulfilling and life saving road to recovery!

Best book on the market to really dive deep and change, codependent behaviors, and beliefs

Good book, prefer to Al-Anon texts. sorry Ms. Beattie died. Very relatable.

I just recently bought this book. I feel, for me, I could not have chosen a better book. I have many books which are extremely helpful, which I have bought from Amazon, and where I am in my life right now this book has been ablessing from my God! I never had seen this book and everytime I read the steps it has helped me oh so much asI recently found out I was taught to be co-dependent. I use it along with my AA program- sobriety comes 1st. alwaysI cannot say enough about this book, it is written so well by Melody Beattie and helps me immensely to see where I came from and turn it all around. It is exhausting to feel I am resposible for everyone's life. I am not and whatfreedom that brings me. I am learning I have power over myself only and it is o.k. to take care of myself on adaily basis. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels they have to be responsible for others and in the process one loses themselves! Not good!Thanks, Hope I have helped someone.

Good read!

Melody Beatty has written another amazingly helpful book. I feel her advice and the storiesshe shares are so useful.

With Melody's helpful, clear and revelatory style of writing, you get the feeling that you are talking with someone who "knows everything, has been there, and done that" and has come out on the very top. She leaves no stone unturned, yet writes in a clear manner that is very easy to follow. She writes with honesty. The stories that she has picked to illustrate the concepts that she is writing about are very much relevant to each concept. She spends time to take you through each of the steps and she is thorough and very in depth, and yet does not waste 1 word on anything trivial; and one doesn't get the feeling that she is moving on to another concept too soon. I recommend that you see her interviews on youtube as a supplement to understanding who she is and why she is doing this work.
