Melody Beattie, the bestselling author of Codependent no More and Beyond Codependence has now created Hazelden's first meditation book for codependents. There are reflections that nurture spiritual and emotional health, serenity, and recovery. Focusing on self-esteem and acceptance, and written in the direct, unsentimental style of Beattie's bestsellers, these daily meditations give voice to the thoughts and feelings common to men and women in recovery. They encourage fruitful reflection on so many great topics.
"stopping the pain and gaining control of your life".
The Language of Letting Go Cards are a beautifully illustrated deck to live in the here-and-now and by doing so, you will allow life to happen instead of trying to force outcomes. Great companion for the book and longer.

This book focuses on self-esteem and acceptance. Although daily topics & meditations are designed to help recovering codependents they are just as effective in helping anyone gain control of their life and feel good about themselves.
