And 12 Service Concepts

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1 We admitted we were powerless over others - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2 Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3 Made a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of God as we understood God.

4 Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5 Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs.

6 Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7 Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.

8 Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

9 Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10 Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

11 Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge
of God's will for us and the power to carry that out.

12 Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other codependents, and to practice
these principles in all our affairs.

Your trusted guide to value yourself and break the patterns of codependency

Codependency For Dummies, 2 nd Edition is the most comprehensive book on the topic to date. Written in plain English and packed with sensitive, authoritative information, it describes the history, symptoms, causes, and relationship dynamics of codependency. The majority of the book is devoted to healing and lays out a clear plan for recovery with exercises, practical advice, and daily reminders to help you know, honor, protect, and express yourself. New to this edition are chapters on working the Twelve Steps to recover from codependency and how therapists/coaches/nurses are affected by codependency.

Codependence is primarily a learned behavior from our family of origin. Some cultures have it to a greater degree than others-some still see it as a normal way of living. Yet the costs of codependence can include distrust, faulty expectations, passive-aggressiveness, control, self-neglect, over-focus on others, manipulation, intimacy issues, and a slew of other harmful traits. Codependence causes serious pain and affects the majority of Americans-not just women and loved ones of addicts. Codependency For Dummies, 2 nd Edition offers authoritative and trusted guidance on ways to raise your self-esteem, detach and let go, set boundaries, recognize healthy vs. dysfunctional relationships, overcome guilt and resentment, and much more.

Helps you break the pattern of conduct that keeps you in harmful relationships

Provides trusted guidance to create healthy boundaries, coping skills, and expectations

Offers advice for eliminating feelings of guilt, blame, and feeling overly responsible

Explains the difference between care-giving and codependent care-taking

If you're trapped in the cycle of codependency and looking for help, Codependency For Dummies, 2 nd Edition offers trusted advice and a clear plan for recovery.
