This was a very interesting audiobook. I did like the narrator. I thought she was clean simple and to the point when she was speaking. I also really like this book as it covers over codependency and although I don’t fall into 100% of these categories I think some of them will surprise you and I did like all of the things in this book so I would definitely recommend and I think it’s very interesting to read you can recognise a lot of patterns or traits that you personally do or people you know of do, and I think that is really important to keep in mind

Codependent No More, How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie and narrated by Melody Beattie. So excited this was an audiobook with new things! I’m giving this 4.5painful ⭐️ because we’ll just because. The narrating by the author was ok. I feel like me and Melody are old friends. She been with me since I was 20 something and I’m now 50 something.
I’ve been surrounded by addiction my whole life, me included and I’ve picked this book so many times. When I started this audiobook I was triggered by her upbringing. It was like she was telling my story and I took a break. I’ve finished it and stop many times writing things down. If you want to understand codependency or take another hard look at your actions then I highly recommend reading this. The whole experience is a scary freedom I had to embrace. I hope you listen to this and get what you need from it.
Thanks Macmillan UK via NetGalley.

This is such a worth while read if you think you might be codependent or are affected by somebody else's drinking.

I found the lists particularly insightful and eye opening.

I appreciated that it was a revised version because it felt more current and relevant and therefore was easy to reflect to.
