## What is The Language of Letting Go?

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 all 366 readings from the best-selling book, 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.

### 5/5 — Help Yourself

*2025-01-23*

Highly recommended! I have read this book off and on for years. I share this resource with others frequently because everyone will deal with the complexity of life and not know at times what to do or how to cope. This app is practical wisdom for life. The concepts help me be a better person, heal from hurt, and spread love in healthy ways by focusing on the only person you can change, yourself. It should be integrated into our public schools or educational institutions.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-01-12, version 3.0.1*

I am ten years in Coda and ACA.  I really enjoy the clarity I receive from the powerful and on point messages that are so helpful to me.

### 5/5 — GET THIS BOOK

*2025-01-08, version 3.0.1*

Fantastic daily read & reflection

### 5/5 — Fabulous Devotional!!

*2025-01-07, version 3.0.1*

I have read this devotional every day for 8 years. It was been a huge part of my journey healing from codependency

### 3/5 — This might be good for some people but…

*2025-01-06*

Unfortunately I do not believe in a monotheistic god. Nowhere in the description did it mention that this app is so god based. I have tried to replace god with higher power whenever I read it but it doesn’t work. Because the language is of monotheism. Just thought I’d put it out there. I feel it should’ve been clearer in the description.

### 5/5 — The language of Letting Go

*2024-10-30*

This book has been life-changing for me! My poor book is so beat up, tattered, underlined highlighted earmarked you name it. I’m going into the third year of reading every page daily. I am committed to reading it first thing in the morning as part of my prayer and meditation routine. It speaks to me and allows me to hear God‘s voice so clearly during my meditation. I am truly thankful!

### 5/5 — Language of letting go

*2024-10-15, version 3.0.1*

I have enjoyed your sayings for many years! The are very useful! I am going on 40 yr s TO YOUR SITE!  and refer many AA PEOPLE to do likewise!

### 5/5 — Healing Words

*2024-10-02, version 3.0.1*

Every recovery program should make this text required reading. We all need peace and this app lays a out the path.

### 5/5 — Life Saver!

*2024-09-24*

I received my first copy of “The Language of Letting Go” in 1992 on the anniversary of my 1st year of sobriety. I didn’t really get what I was reading when I began, and saw mostly other people and their behavior in it. 
The 2nd time through I began seeing myself. 
After growing up in a home with a WWII war veteran who became alcoholic and (years later, i understood) had PTSD, and a French war bride mother who had her own PTSD and an ever growing depression, TLoLG became my teacher (along with AA & later DAA) for living life and dealing with family, relationships, work associates, and all my friends and other members in the programs. 
I worked with teenagers in a locked facility for 20 years and have sent many home with copies of this guide for life, (I’ve also bought and have given multiple copies to sponsee’s I’ve worked and work with) and I also made copies of some of the readings I thought most poignant, that they could relate to and find help in, and would tape them inside the copy of books in the library I kept for the kids to read.
Many of those kids loved the readings, they would become topics for group and our individual conversations. 
Truly a life saver and full life giver!

### 5/5 — Daily help

*2024-09-23, version 3.0.1*

I use this almost every day. It helps me to guide my thinking to more helpful paths. Improved thoughts reduce stress.
