Summary: A Book That Has Saved Many Lives
Review: In this wonderful book, Melody Beattie provides the reader with the necessary tools to overcome the burden of codependency. Although it gives examples to help the families of alcoholics, the book stresses that any addiction and its effects can be overcomed if we only recognize the reasons the behaviors were developed in the first place. I was sexually molested as a child and, as a result, two major consecuences appeared: I was subconsciously trying to destroy my body and so became clinically overweight, and I wanted to control those around me and make sure they did not ruin their lives with what I viewed as the wrong choices. I did not understand why, if my brain knew that I should take care of my body, and if I had dreams to lead a full, active life, I was "killing" myself. I had alienated the people I cared about, I "hated" what I had become, I was totally dependent on the opinions of others, and valued myself by what they said. I was terribly unhappy. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BOOKS THAT SAVED MY LIFE. It made me realize that it was just fine to like myself, to treat myself well, and to be happy. I recommend this book to everyone who is looking for answers to the vicious circle of codependency. Buy it, apply it, and set yourself free. I certainly did.
