What it is

A year of short daily readings from the author of Codependent No More. Each entry takes one idea from recovery, such as detaching with love, letting go of control, accepting feelings, or setting a limit, and closes with a brief reflection or affirmation for the day.

Where to find it

Widely available in print, ebook and audiobook from major booksellers and libraries.
