“Melody Beattie is an American phenomenon. . . . She understands being overboard, which helps her throw best-selling lifelines to those still adrift.”—TIME
“Codependent No More gave words to the masses who never had a way to describe these types of relationships in their lives . . . For so many, Melody’s book was a resource to help free themselves from something they may not have even recognized in their own lives—and 35 years later, it still is.”—Jen Hatmaker, author of For the Love: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards

Excellent source of wisdom. Real life practices. The beginning feels like a lot but keep reading. Keep going. It’s a great handbook to read again and again…
5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-Opening and Life-Changing
Great book. Really made me step back and reevaluate some things in my life. My neighbor recommended it, and it was nice having someone I knew reading it at the same time so we could talk through it together. The insights and examples were practical and easy to connect with, and it’s been a big help in shifting my mindset. Highly recommend for anyone working on healthier boundaries.

This is a great book for people with codependency issues. You realize how codependent you really are when reading it, and it will help you to overcome it. I have to admit, it is a slog getting through it because you have to mentally digest the fact that you are codependent, but liberating at the same time. There is a reason it is a best seller.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Amazing book!
4.0 out of 5 stars A good "aid" to your own personal journey out of the dark.
I feel I am a prime example of a codependant that I should be studied and questioned by several doctors. Main question they all would ask is "how did you live this long feeling so many.... Negative emotions??"As she states in here, the first step toward healing isn't acceptance, but AWARENESS. I bought this book awhile ago in desperation to see where things went wrong in an awful relationshi(t). As I always did, buying books, workout DVDs, etc, all these things I was excited for that will help me feel better about me and bring a new me! But as always, all those "fixes" collected dust as I lay on the couch or driving from A to B, reflecting, wallowing in self pity and falling deeper into depression. That lifestyle not only was my 20s but teen years as well. A worry wart on tight-rope named Anxiety looking at people live happily...I wish I could explain exactly where or when I started to see clearly, whichever "quote" I came across that helped me rise above my self-inflicted shi(t)storm... But basically I realized that the most important thing in life is attitude, and no one else is responsible for my emotions but ME. Sure, I was crushed and heartbroken by awful people, what I realized was that's a reflection of THEM. What got to me most was I wanted people to suffer for injustices not just on me but other lives in pain inflicted by mean people and narcissists(which I don't believe is a term to be used lightly). So much pain I've carried around. FOR YEARS.Finally, while moving and clearing clutter, I found this book again and stopped everything to start reading it. As I stated above, the only person responsible for my emotions is me, and this book delves into this and stretches this fact in ways so many people can comprehend and find a point where epiphanies are inevitable and one can benefit. I feel it to be versatile.Like many people are saying, it does reference alcoholism quite a bit, which was never really an issue in my circumference of humans, but that doesn't mean I wasn't able to see things in a different perspective, as well as remind me of soo much suffering from friends where alcolohism is the base of dysfunction.I've always been an empathetic, sensitive person who always feels helpless... and this book is a must-have tool for anyone and everyone who are trying to pinpoint their blame, sadness, indulgences, or whatever is keeping them from being the best person they can be.As she also states, there is no one definition/one size fits all, which makes maybe everyone a bit codependent IMHO, maybe not as habitual or harrowing as others, depending on ones life chapters/circumstances or situations... But in a way it helped see that we are more relatable.Definitely recommend for useful tips, and to gain a different perspective that perhaps wasn't computing before. Ha.So glad I finally read this book, and I hope it brings comfort and light to those lost in their own minds ❤️

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a helpful book!
My therapist recommended this to me and I'm so grateful that she did. It really opened my eyes to alot of my patterns and behaviors. I've read it multiple times already and I've only have it a few months!
Clear and helpful book
Really interesting book - well written and easy to digest all the information. Clear and helpful.
Ultimate self help book for the lost
A lifeline when you think all is lost. Melody Beattie speaks lovingly, compellingly and reassuringly through her book offering guidance and hope to anyone who has experienced dysfunctional family life. She helps you to literally regain balance and sanity when one's world may be growing progressively crazier and difficult to cope with.When you feel alone, frightened, overwhelmed and lost...when you feel locked into isolation and believe yourself beyond human help...this book reaches out and lovingly leads you upward out of the dark abyss into sunshine...helping you understand powerful truths at integral levels and helping you discover that there is life beyond the painful chaos that has come to be your life.
Excellent analysis of all too familiar patterns
Knowledgeable insightful book
It saved me. Thank you Ms. Beattie.
A coworker recommended this book to me, after witnessing my turmoil of constantly being taken advantage of professoinally and personally. She said, it opened her eyes.With doubts, I bought this book. I had just a little bit too much from everyone. I wanted to stop feeling like a victim. I did not understand why people think of me as a bitch, even after I did so much for just everybody and none for myself.This book, saved me.While devoting a significant portion to discussing substance codependence and dysfunctional relationships (between lovers, friends, families and any human beings), it showed me the most important lesson that I learned: be true to yourself. If there is something you do not like, say no. Do not say yes because you expect a certain behavior from the other person. What he/she does, is irrelevant. What is it that you want to do? And more importantly, what is it, that you do not want to do?Recognize that, and learn to respond to it.I do not have anyone in my life who is dependent on alcohol or any substance. But I have experienced the same disappointment when someone you love fails to act responsibly. I used to be angry, sad, depressed and still feel them for many different reasons. Feelings are fine. I have learned, after reading this book, how to react to my feelings.I don't know whether I would have understood this book 10 years ago. But I do now. If you feel the pain I used to feel (and sometimes still do, because it is a long way to recovery), please read this book. Please feel better and say no to people who take advantage of you. Please love yourself enough to be codependent no more.
