I feel conflicted in giving this a rating as the good stuff is at 4-5, but the stuff that bothered me - which was unfortunately a lot - was around 1-2 . We trust that Someone greater than ourselves knows, has ordained, and cares about waht is happening. A few weeks later I was looking at audiobooks in the local library and spotted this title, so immediately chose it.

Maybe some people would be able to just "stop" doing codependent behaviours - and kudos to them if they can!I finally realized that if I put half as much energy into doing the right thing as I had into doing wrong, I could do anything,” Beattie said. Nors teoriškai skirtas kopriklausomybės problemai (kondicija, būdinga priklausomybę turinčiųjų artimiesiems ir ypač su jais bendraujančiais on a daily basis), bet pati Beattie rašydama išplečia savo auditoriją ir sako, kad tam, jog būtum kopriklausomas, tavo artimasis nebūtinai turi sirgt alkoholizmu ar narkomanija - ji ar jis gali būti nervingas, pernelyg kontroliuojantis arba kaip visiškai apleidęs ir nesirūpinantis tėvas / mama.

The longer this lifetime goes, the more convinced I am that our primary responsibility in life is to find a way to make peace with ourselves, our past, and our present—no matter what we face and no matter how often we need to do that.
