Newcomers of Al Anon not suggested.
Perhaps 'love' is not quite a word I would use to describe however it is a very informative book and for those who have been with Al Anon for some time, they will find it interesting. I wouldn't suggest you read it if you are a newcomer for they are not one of the suggested books, nor spoken about in the meetings as this causes confusion. There is a little too much conversation about 'god' especially if you do not understand that this is a spiritual programme and does not relate to a 'god' as in a religious sense. However she fits nicely into Al Anon's (and damaged childhoods). It is a pity it could not be utilised alongside the suggested reading list.

The gospel of CODA & al anon needing more than meetings
call all CODA & Al-anon attendees! if you're looking for a sign this is it! i know we have a tendency to need to help people ... but this time it will work when i tell you this will help you. i have found it profound. my friend and i stumbled across it in a bargain bin at a thrift store and then i had to buy myself my own copy to loan out and to use. i cannot recommend enough this book. i hadn't started working my steps yet as a beginner to it all and this was my missing piece to my inner peace. Life changing. THANK YOU to melody beattie for writing this book. to you reading this , I hope it changes you the way it did for me. things get better

共依存症から回復するための１２のステップの解説書
著者のメロディ・ビーティは、薬物依存症から回復した後、自分の共依存症に気づいて、１２のステップを用いて共依存症から回復してきた女性です。この本は、著者自身の経験や、アラノンやコーダ、ＡＣＡなどの自助グループで回復した人たちの１２のステップの経験に関するインタビューに基づいて書かれた、共依存症からの回復方法に関する本です。 本書の特徴の一つは、アルコール依存症などのアディクションからの回復のための１２のステップの方法とは異なる、共依存症者のためのステップの活用方法を著者が示そうとしている点です。 例えば著者によれば、アルコール依存症などのアディクションからの回復のために１２のステップを実践する場合、自分自身や自分の行いに関する厳格な注目（almost harsh focus）や、「自我から抜け出る（あるいは自我を捨てる）」（getting out of self）ことについての厳しい注目（heavy focus）が必要だが、共依存症者にとっての１２のステップには、自分自身に対する優しい（gentle）態度を身につけていくことや、自我（the self'）を愛し、尊重していくことが必要になります（本書、１９３頁）。 そして著者は、このような観点から、共依存症者への深い愛と共感に基づいて、ステップ１から１２まで詳しく解説します。例えばステップの中で、具体的にどうしたらいいのかわかりにくい、４の棚卸しや８の傷つけてきた人の表の作り方についても、シンプルでわかりやすい（４については複数の種類の）方法を説明してくれます。 なお巻末には、ミーティングに参加する際の注意、自助グループで使われる特有の言葉の解説、アメリカの自助グループの連絡先、共依存症のための１２のステップの活用に役立つ本（一部は邦訳がある本もある）の紹介もあります。 私は日本語で翻訳されている複数の１２のステップの本を読んできましたが、読んでいてこれほど心を動かされたものは、本書以外にありませんでした。この本は、１２のステップでいうハイヤーパワーの配慮（care）に導かれながら、共依存症者自身が自分自身をケアし、愛していく方法を読者に示してくれます。特に難しい英語で書かれている訳ではないので、英語が苦手ではない方で、１２のステップで共依存症からの回復を目指したい人には、オススメです。
