 Everyone should own a copy of this book. It's a lifesaver. August 5, 1998

I'm thankful every day for the friend who gave me this book when I became ill. I will certainly pass it on to all the people I care about, because no matter what is happening in your life, there's probably something of interest for you in this book. Melody Beattie is a gift!
This book is a constant companion... July 25, 1998

I, too, have used this book over the years. It is my favorite recovery book as it not only has a topical index but I can let the book fall open to any meditation and it is just for me. It has helped me to celebrate my clean and sober life in a positive and upbeat fashion, for which I am very grateful. I have also shared passages with peers not yet in recovery and it has helped them, too. This fall I will be ordering the book as a Christmas gift for my employer.

depressing. (Ha) really, though, i just can't imagine anyone wanting to put themselves through that kind of hell everyday. i think that we need to spend more time reading the many powerful novels that are out there - ones that let us laugh, cry and celebrate all the aspects of life's ups and downs. i think the book was written in the best intentions and with a true desire to share and help another individual and commend the author for sharing difficult times and pointing to faith based values for salvation. we could all use more of that in the world, but it just struck me as TOO, well, maybe boring is a good word, ...wallowing. i saw a lot of wallowing. also, all the separateness and disconnection may have been too much. it just doesn't feel healthy. probably said like a co-dependent, right?!!
I carry this book with me like a bible! October 30, 1997

Having read the book 5 years ago, I still pick up the book everyday, especially when I feel those codependent controlling emotions resurfacing. The book literally saved me from myself the self-defeating behavoirs of trying to control life. It has changed my life. My book is falling apart from use, it is my daily spiritual guidance and encouragement. I couldn't live without it. Thank you from a very codependent who was brought across that bridge into the light. This book has saved me, in financial crisis', in my love relationship, in every aspect of my life. It has taught me that I cannot control life. My screen saver here at work says, "You cannot control people or events... trust, believe and let it go, just let it go"! This book is powerful, a life saver.
