Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie

4.0

Read this to support a friend in addiction recovery and am so glad I did. Really opened my eyes to some ways I need to change. While this is heavily focused on alcoholism and 12-step programs I think its ideas have universal value and it's an interesting insight into how addiction can affect families (besides the obvious). Highly recommended.

Update: giving this 4 stars now because I think about this book and its ideas so much. I find myself recommending it more than I expected, too.
