Summary
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.

Critics Review
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.
