If You Leave Me, Can I Come with You?: Daily Meditations for Codependents and Al-Anons . . . with a Sense of Humor

Misti B

Misti B.'s incisive and irreverent meditations offer daily doses of humor, healing, and hope for the tragedies, triumphs, and everyday aggravations that come with codependency.

If You Leave Me, Can I Come with You? proves that we can laugh at ourselves and still take our recovery seriously. Infusing hard-earned wisdom with self-revealing honesty and fearless humor, Misti B. shines a healing light into the confusions and contradictions, as well as the self-defeating thoughts and actions, that codependents and those in Al-Anon frequently face.

Misti's refreshingly original daily meditations tackle issues such as people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and perfectionism. On this yearlong journey, she shows how these habits don't have to overwhelm us if we work a solid Twelve Step program--and learn to take ourselves lightly. This book delivers the right mix of support, inspiration, and irreverence.

Praise for this book

These 365 daily reflections by a recovering co-dependent provide a breath of fresh air in the recovery movement. Of course, addiction and recovery are very serious topics, but by adding a bit of humor to the mix, this book makes the process seem less formidable. There s no denial here. Misti B. keeps her eye squarely on the issues at hand. One of the things which she learned at Al-Anon, however, is that a little bit of humor helps the wisdom go down. Your customers will find plenty of both wisdom and self-reflective humor in the pages of this book.
