Reasonable, sensible and encouraging

Made me feel like I could do this by focusing on myself and my health. Nothing else has worked, so it’s time for me.

I wish I had this book years ago!

Love this book and will be listening multiple times. Highly recommended for anyone living with and living an addict. Help yourself and get this book.

Just what I needed

This book cleared my head and gave me a starting point for my own healing. It's easy to understand and is incredibly helpful. I felt so lost before.... now, I understand my part in dealing with my partner's addiction and my own issues with enabling him. If there's no change, then there's no change. Everyone who loves an addict (or anyone suffering from enabling or codependency) and feels lost...you need this book. It's time to heal yourself.
