"Is someone else's problem your problem? If, like so many others, you've lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to someone else's, you may be codependent - and you may find yourself in this book. This modern classic by one of America's most inspirational authors holds the key to understanding codependency and to unlocking its stultifying hold on your life. With instructive life stories, personal reflections, exercises, and self-tests, this is a simple, straightforward map of the perplexing world of codependency - charting the path to freedom and a lifetime of healing, hope, and happiness. Self-help author Melody Beattie is a household name in addiction and recovery circles. The first edition of Codependent No More introduced the term "codependency" in 1986. Melody knows firsthand what sufferers are going through. She has survived abandonment, kidnapping, sexual abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, divorce, and the death of a child. She is also the author of The New Codependency"--Provided by publisher.
