Much of the attention in our self-help-absorbed world is focused on the addict--the compulsive, chemically dependent person who uses alcohol or other drugs to anesthetize the pain of day-to-day living. But what about the other victims of addiction--the spouses, families, and caretakers suffering (not so quietly) in the background, so involved in the addict's problems that they are unable to identify and solve their own? There are myriad books and programs dealing with addiction, but only a handful of them address the specific issues of codependency. This two-books-in-one volume provides a complete blueprint for codependent recovery. Written with warmth, gentleness, and great compassion by Melody Beattie, Codependent No More has been a healing touchstone for millions, pointing the way to a lifetime of health, hope, and happiness.
