At this site, I would recommend Melody Beatty's "The Language of Letting Go." It is not Al-Anon approved literature and it is one book I would recommend with our Al-Anon literature.

Grateful, have you read Codependent No More by Melody Beatty? This book was recommended to me by one of my group members. I haven't ordered it yet, but I'm going to.

Yes, CS, but I don't use it like I have the other one. I've had since the early 90s and still find it invaluable - especially when our readers just aren't scratching the itch. Did you read it?

Let Go Now...embracing detachment...set boundaries and make your life your own By Karen Casey..this is not an al anon book but it is written by a person with 12 step experience. It has helped me a lot. Also...Discovering Choices is a good al anon book
