This book helped me understand myself...how my behaviors stemmed from my irrational thinking and what caused the wrong or what I'd consider in hindsight "insane" thinking...

Power of Now by Ekart Tolle

Great thread! Seems like we have a couple newbies on the Wayward Side who might find this helpful. I continue to work my way thru the list. Most recent finish was "Boundaries - Where you do end and I begin". For someone who has realized how poor my boundaries have been, this was a GREAT book. Highly recommend.

I added another book to the list: The Four Agreements. It was so helpful with my control and esteem issues.

I just ordered a few. A friend who went through this actually gave us a lot of them after DDay1 and I read....but was in such a heavy fog it didn't do any good.

Hoping for better this time!

Didn't see this book listed

Healing the shame that binds you

It is a slow read very detailed but I am learning so much about myself and my family history that sort of payed the ground work for ms to get where I am

Great topic lots of books I don't yet have on my list to read thanks

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

so-wrong ( member #33653) posted at 3:55 PM on Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Thanks so much! This list is almost overwhelming ......

I think for me ..... i need to work on understanding me so the boundaries book sounds interesting.

Many of the WS also mention how can I forgive..... and that it helps understand BS pain so I might try that as well.....

Lastly the 5 apology languages.....

- I made some really bad choices and now I need to make it right. And along the way, I will make me better too.....

"Beauty from Ashes" by Joyce Meyer was instrumental for me. I wish I had read it years ago.

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free."
