I read this book each morning before getting out of bed and write what I need to work on that day in regard to each day's message. I also read the Codependent No More Book and my Bible. I cannot tell you what a difference this book has made in my life. It is hard work and so easy to slip back in old patterns, but this book never lets me down. If you are a person who doesn't like to read, the short (1/2 page) daily message will get you on the right road and make your life so much easier. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

Anything Melody Beattie writes I am willing and happy to read. She has a great perspective on codependency and it resonates with me and my process. I love the format and the fact that I don't have to sit down and read it from cover to cover.

I love this book! It gives you a daily inspiration, but also leaves room for you to jot down some of your own thoughts. It is nice to have space in the book to write down your thoughts about the day.

This book on co-dependency is a real eye opener for anyone who struggles in this area. It was a catalyst for me; I have let go of the responsibility of overseer of the lives of those within my family. It is an essential tool in order to gain freedom from co-dependency.
Language of Letting go a wonderful journal

I just started using this book as a recomendation made by one of my college teachers last semester. By reading the daily pages, and journaling a little bit about each topic for each day I have been able to make some very profound discoveries about myself. It is helping me to not only better understand myself, and my situation, but it is allowing me to become more tolerant of others, and is helping me to understand that I am allowed to feel some of the emotions in which we are conditioned to discount. I would recomend this book to not only people that feel they have issues they need to work out, but to anyone that is interested in learning a little more about themselves.
