Hi Terry and welcome. Congratulations on 5 years clean, what an accomplishment. While we are a support group for loved ones of addicts, recovering addicts can provide a lot of insight to us. I will caution you the same way my in person family support groups cautions new members, family members are often times raw with emotion and we need to remember that when we are interacting. The needs of recovering addicts are different than those of family members. We would not want to say anything to jeopardize your recovery and I'm sure you understand what family member go through.
It is so important to have young people in recovery reach out to other young people to be an inspiration to them.
