"CODEPENDENT NO MORE: How to Stop Controlling Ohters and Start Caring for Yourself" by Melody Beattie
A general description of codependent people is: “hostile, controlling, manipulative, indirect, guilt producing, difficult to communicate with, generally disagreeable, sometimes downright hateful, and a hindrance to” addictive compulsive behaviors. They holler at addicts, hide addictive materials, make faces, dispose of addictive materials, try to keep addicts from getting addictive materials, want to know why addicts are trying to hurt them, and ask what’s wrong with the addict. They are always ready to rescue addicts from self-created disasters. Codependents worry more about others then about themselves. They constantly give to others but don’t know how to receive. Most codependents are obsessed with other people.
In addition, “By its nature, alcoholism and other compulsive disorders turn everyone affected by the illness into victims – people who need help even if they are not drinking, using other drugs, gambling, overeating, or overdoing a compulsion.” (Pgs. 1-2, 6 “Codependent No More” Melody Beattie 1987)
