The Language of Letting Go

BookMobile

About this app

Written by codependency expert Melody Beattie, the Language of Letting Go provides daily guidance and encouragement for those who struggle with codependency. The app contains 366 readings, one for each day of the year, helping you on your journey of self-care and recovery to a path of freedom and a lifetime of healing, hope, and happiness.

Each daily reading focuses on a specific topic and ends with a related prayer or affirmation. Topics include: setting healthy boundaries, recognizing feelings, loving yourself, trusting your Higher Power, finding peace, and letting go of shame, guilt, sadness, anger, and worry. Also included are handy reference lists of the Twelve Steps of AA, the Twelve Traditions of AA, and the Twelve Steps of Al-Anon.

When the app is opened each day, it will automatically show you that day’s reading. Choose a time for a daily notification reminding you to read, reflect, and meditate on that day’s reading and on your recovery. Open the app anytime you need to refocus.

Codependency—the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping another—has rung true for millions around the globe, and can manifest for many reasons: a spouse, child, parent, or loved one addicted to alcohol or other drugs; a mentally or physically ill loved one; sexual addiction; abuse; or neglect. By integrating her own life experiences and fundamental recovery reflections, Melody Beattie helps readers take responsibility for their own pain and self-care as she encourages them to remember that each day is an opportunity for growth and renewal.

Ratings and reviews

I love the daily readings on healing from codependency. I also like that I can share readings with friends. The app has a failing in that if the app is closed, it won't send the daily reminder that I set and it won't start sending them again until I remember to open the app again and leave it open. That makes for 4 stars because I don't like it when I miss a day or a few days. Other than that, it works well.

Love the book, but I wish they would either fix or remove the share feature, because it is frustrating. It allows you to share maybe once, maybe twice, then you get weird error messages that make you think something is wrong with your phone. There is nothing wrong with your phone, they apparently just don't want you to share, so why not just remove this feature? I guess the app designer feels one way or two shares might generate a sale, but more might inhibit sales.

I have been with the Language of Letting Go process, book, workbook, meditation book, etc for 19 years. I'm on my 3rd time through the steps and STILL learning AND changing! I love the app. If I get stuck in my day, I can open it up and it NEVER fails to provide the key to get through WHATEVER'S going on. Thank you, Melody and all the stars behind the scenes. XXOO'S
