This was not one of my favorite Alanon books. One of the newest and to me kind of namby-pamby. I'd like to see Alanon use the word "codependency" and talk about it in a more direct and useful way. It's what we've all got... the "ism" that prompted us to begin recovery.

I didn't really find the questions at the end of the chapters that useful--but I also didn't attempt to answer them.

Found quite a bit to connect to in this book.

A collection of very worthwhile experiences from many people writing in to Al-Anons' request for more lessons on how to be the best person possible after people have found some form of peace and understanding following their being affected by a family disease of behaviour, attitude and selfishness arising from Alcoholic behaviour (in the most part) or other behaviours in other areas.

I bought the book and had it on the shelf for some time before I read it.

Overall, it was a book of average significance. I found some of the short stories to be rather not worthy reading. There were a few stories that I found relatable. A good number of them seemed to have a happy ending.

Great book on relationships

This Al-Anon recovery literature and book is life changing— read it again and again!

I think this is the only Al-Anon book I've read that I didn't really like. It didn't 'talk' to me like all the others did (some talk more than others!). I didn't keep it when I was done, like I have with the others. I gave it away.
