 - bookThis was a book bought for a friend at her request. Shipping was fast. Rating:  - Helpful butI purchased Codependent No More after someone suggested it to me because she was aware that I was in a place in my life where I was/am looking to make some changes. I have received some very wonderful messages and helpful insights as to why I have certain habits and behavior. However, I am not the spouse, daughter or any relation to an alcholic or drug user. The reason I say this is because I almost didn't continue to listen pass the first cd because that is who the book seemed to be geared towards. I understand that the book is intended for people who "suffer" from and with codependency however the word alcholic must be mentioned at least 1,000 times. It really began to wear on me, I felt as if the book should have been "Codependent to/with an Alcoholic No More." It was a test of my patients and tolerance to continue listening because I was trusting that God's message for me was in the book. I received it but I must admit, it was with a lot of teeth grinding. Rating: - EXCELLENT.I'M HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT, IT'S REALLY USEFUL, ALTHOUGH I CONSIDER THAT EVERY SITUATION AND PERSON IS DIFFERENT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO APPLY ALL THE SCENARIOS WRITTEN ON THIS BOOK TO WHATEVER SITUATION WE ARE GOING THROUGH. LET'S JUST TAKE THE BEST OF IT AND CONTINUE GOING ON. THANK YOU. Rating:  - GreatI was surprised by the CD, and didnt really get into it until the 2nd one, which was where the messages were so much clearer about the book and its purpose. I have bought it for my sister hoping to help her on this journey of co-dependence on her husband. Rating: - Proof is in the PuddingI read this book and in the beginning I thought "Oh, this kind of book is for people attracted to people with destructive personalities." As I read on, it is for people used to putting themselves last. Some people may have that hero or Christopher columbus mentality. But when the villain is destroyed or the land is found - now what? You are in a rut because the excitement is gone. There are others that fall into the "you complete me" trap. Complete yourself then find a partner. This book totally changed how i feel about myself and my experience. I recommend this book to anyone who is/was in a relationship that is essentially over. In association with Amazon.com | |
