    About this ebook

    Free yourself from codependency and reclaim your sanity, peace, and inner strength with this guide by the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning.
     
    Too many of us live as if what other people think matters more than what we think, which leads to constantly trying to please or change others. Living this way is called codependency. It is an insidious and pervasive addiction. But there is a simple path to recovery: detachment.
     
    In Codependence and the Power of Detachment, bestselling author Karen Casey shares her own story of struggling with codependency, as well as the stories of others. Casey uses the insights and tools she’s discovered from her many years of sobriety to take readers through the steps of detaching from a bad situation: admitting the attachment, surrendering the outcome, forgiving, and focusing on what works. She describes how to pay attention, be aware, take care of ourselves, and let others—husbands, family, and coworkers—become accountable for themselves.

      This book is about changing for the better through Al-Anon principles. It wasn’t what I was looking for in terms of learning about detachment, however others may find it helpful. There is a strong focus on people coming out of failed romantic relationships, applying Al-Anon principles, and becoming more balanced in how they treat themselves and others.
