    About this ebook

    Do you struggle with valuing yourself? Are you constantly plagued by feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem? Did your childhood involve abuse and trauma, leaving you filled with bitterness, pain, fear, and self-hate?

    In this book, you will learn all there is to know about codependency, its origins, and how it can damage the lives of individuals and families. You'll learn:

    •What a codependent lifestyle looks like
    •The traits that define codependency
    •The true emotional and physical costs of codependency
    •The lies that codependents are told during childhood
    •How to heal your mind, body, and soul
    •And much more!

    More importantly, you will learn how to heal from codependent habits and stop controlling other people. If you have been trapped in a cycle of codependency, now is the time to break free, reclaim your life and be codependent no more.

    Smart Reads Origins Smart Reads was born out of the desire to find the best information fast without having to wade through the sheer volume of crap available for purchase. Smart Reads combs though the massive amounts of knowledge accessible online and compiles all the best stuff into an easily digestible book on a wide variety of subjects. We consider ourselves Smart Readers, not dummies. We likes to learn a TON about a WIDE variety of topics. It’s the best way to capture the big picture! With the amount of noise in the marketplace each new topic we try to learn about begins with a never ending search to find the facts that matter. It becomes a treasure hunt rather than an education. Smart Reads aims to be your one stop shop for superior information on any subject you might want to learn about. When you see a Smart Reads book on your topic of interest you know your search for quality information is over. Smart Readers get more information on more topics in less time. Our Mission Smart Reads mission is to accelerate the spread and availability of valuable information. We believe having access to knowledge is a basic human right and want to see every person on the planet be able to learn about any topic that would enhance their lives. We hope to remove barriers to sharing by taking the copyright off everything we publish and donating it to the public domain. We also know we can’t accomplish this mission by ourselves. We are giving 5% of our net profit to Pencils of Promise. We hope to donate $1,000,000 or more by 2020 to build over 2,000 schools and increase educational opportunities in the developing world. By purchasing from Smart Reads you are contributing to helping kids all over the globe get access to a valuable education they otherwise wouldn't have had. Doesn’t it feel good knowing that by educating yourself you are helping to educate the next generation!? We think so too... Thanks for choosing Smart Reads!
