I am not the adult child of an alcoholic. I am, however, the product of a dysfunctional family, and recommend daily use of this book for all who struggle with the self-image issues born of family (or non-family!) histories that are fraught with obsessive or abusive behavior.
This is a wonderful work; a work to USE, not just to read. Each time through, these affirmations grow in meaning. Take the time to feel these truths each time you work with one: Imagine yourself owning -- actually believing and feeling -- that which graces these pages. Regardless of the origin of your pain, these affirmations are a true and helping gift.
This book has changed my life.
Rating: 5/5
Being ACOA I first got this book about 12 or so years ago and have been reading it daily with my morning meditation. It has helped me shake a lot the baggage I brought out of my alcoholic home and to be the person I want to be playing by MY rules.
