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 a loved one’s self-destructive behavior, you may be codependent—and you may find yourself in this book.

Melody Beattie integrates her own life experiences and fundamental recovery reflections in this unique daily meditation book written especially for those of us who struggle with the issue of codependency. Problems are made to be solved, Melody reminds us, and the best thing we can do is take responsibility for our own pain and self-care.

If your life has been affected by addiction (yours or someone else's), abuse, trauma or toxic shaming, you may also be struggling with another invisible problem - codependency. Without your even being aware of the connection to the above issues, it has created additional life-long challenges such as endless guilt, anxiety, perfectionism, need to control, depression, a history of dysfunctional relationships and much more. This easy-to-understand, interactive book will reveal how codependency has sobotaged you, the lies it created in your beliefs and the truths that expose them.

Basada en su experiencia personal, Melody Beattie dice que, “una persona codependiente es aquella que ha permitido que la conducta de otras personas la afecte, y que además, se obsesiona con controlar la conducta de otras personas.”

It’s a fact that the narcissist in your life doesn’t care about you. Dr. Judith Orloff said it best: “Narcissists have an empathy deficit disorder. They’re not capable of empathy as we know it.” As a result, they are more likely to engage in manipulative behaviors than to commit long-term. To the narcissist, you're nothing more than a source of attention, admiration, and praise. They need you to supply these things so that they can continue to support their inflated false sense of self.

Like most psychiatric concepts, codependency issues, symptoms, and effects are complicated. When you have a codependent personality disorder, you tend to have low self-esteem and turn to anything outside of yourself for comfort, such as alcohol, drugs, relationships, or compulsive behaviors. This can take a toll on your life, leaving you in a state of constant fear of abandonment, a compelling need to please and control others, and obsession with your partner. However, recovering from codependency is possible!

“Stop Being Codependent” guides listeners on a life-altering journey from people-pleasing to empowered self-care. This practical, empathetic roadmap equips you with actionable strategies to identify the roots of codependency in adult relationships.

Do you love an alcoholic? You are not alone! There’s healthy love, and then there’s painful love. If you are in a relationship with someone with a drinking problem, then you probably find yourself suffering right alongside them...watching, begging, pleading, caring, crying, and helping - yet, to no avail. The fact is, we lose ourselves trying to save them.

This book is about codependent recovery.

With research-based insights, you will be able to dig deep, take stock of your situation, how you can start breaking the chains that holds you back, and how you can make sure that you never find yourself in the same predicament again.

When you are codependent, you are unconscious. You do not know that emotional neglect has caused your brain to believe life is a threatening reality. Instead of believing you are worthy of love, you feel unworthy of love. You do not make choices because they might bring you joy. You play it small, try not to rock the boat, people-please, and focus on what you do not want to happen versus what you would like to happen.

Do you feel like your soul is being crushed each time you interact with an egomaniacal someone in your life? It’s time to seek change and focus on YOU.
