[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 705818, member: 1967"] I am not a big fan of Alanon or Naranon either. Many of our members find the 12-step groups very helpful and I think that is great. I just couldn't connect with it and I also had a hard time with the religious aspect. At some of the meetings, they ended with a circle saying the Lord's prayer. I remember wondering how people who weren't religious (like me) or of different faiths must feel about being expected to participate in the Lord's prayer. I honestly think that ending with the serenity prayer would be more inclusive. I found that private therapy was the key for me. My therapist helped me set boundaries and helped me understand that I couldn't fix my daughter. I learned that the only behavior I could change was mine. I went to her for two years. Thankfully, when I learned to stop enabling my daughter's dependency on us and drug use, my daughter turned the corner. She is now doing well. Keep posting on this site, too. You will find a great deal of understanding and support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
