Book Description:
Codependency is a term applying not only to the spouses of alcoholics and drug abusers, but to any "person who has let someone else's behavior affect him or her, and is obsessed with controlling that person's behavior." In her best-selling Codependent No More, and now here, Beattie draws on her own experience and on the insights developed by a whole U.S. subculture devoted to treatment and to participation in 12-step programs such as AA and Al-Anon.
There are a lot of books circulating in this subculture, but Beattie reaches out to the mass market. She covers the usual codependency topics -- oneself and one's needs, family of origin, intimacy, boundaries, conflict resolution, children, relationships, and relapse or recycle -- but places them all in the infrequently considered context of how to keep going with a recovery process once it's begun.

#1 New York Times Best Seller of Codepent No More.
Here is Melody Beattie's incredible story of her own final achievement of a new life. It is, in Beattie's words, a book 'about what happens next."
in her first book, Beattie introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the self-sabotaging behavior patterns of codependency and outlined the principles of self-care. Here she moves beyond understanding to explore the dynamics of healthy recover, the role recycling plays as a normal - even necessary - park of recovery, how positive affirmations can counter negative messages, and much more.
