About this listen

Start Publishing Notes’ Summary, Analysis, and Review of Melody Beattie's Codependent No More includes a summary of the book, a review, analysis and key takeaways, and a detailed "about the author" section.
Preview:
Melody Beattie's Codependent No More is a self-help book for families and loved ones of people with alcohol and chemical dependency. People who have loved ones with addictions are called codependents. Codependents are focused on taking care of and helping an addict to such an extent that they lose touch with their own goals, lives, and emotional needs. Codependents are not usually addicts themselves. They often feel that they do not need help, since they are not the ones who are sick, and are not the ones who are behaving badly. However, codependency leads to great unhappiness, anger, and guilt, and can make it very difficult for codependents to function or to have healthy relationships, even if a loved one becomes sober. Having a loved one who is an addict leads to long lasting trauma. Codependents need help to address this trauma.

Story
Codependency is a relationship in which one person needs to rely on others for self-worth or approval. This relationship can cause anxiety or shame that keeps one from focusing on one’s own needs and desires. It can also lead one to feel entitled and jealous when the codependent partner doesn’t share some priority they perceive themselves to have in their life. Codependency can be characterized by having an attitude of “shoulding” on another person. Communicating this self-perceived problem can lead to an improved relationship between the two people involved.

To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.
