Calling all codependents (or those of you who are not, but know someone who is):

Please share this site with others who may benefit from the ideas and perspectives shared!
I am also reading a remarkable book called, "Codependent No More," by Melody Beattie. The exercises in that book are the ones I will be discussing and venturing to accomplish and understand. It has been a huge help to me already, and I haven't even finished the book yet! :)
