[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 649327, member: 18366"] I whole heartedly agree with this statement. In fact, the last people an addict needs to be around are other addicts. Here he will get the true help he needs to stay clean and sober. Be grateful he has this help! As hard as this is for you emtionsally, just hang in there and keep posting. We are here for you. When your family abandons you when you need them the most, of course it will leave you feeling hurt, lost and resentful. Try to remember that these people have some very dysfunctional way of living and that is why they act the way they do. They can not support you, not because there is something wrong with you, but because they use all of their own inner resources covering up for their own addictions. Look for the support you need outside your family circle. Maybe you should consider attending Al-Anon, a worldwide group dedicated to the support of families and friend of addicts. Being someone who is not addicted, puts you outside the circle because the last thing addicts want is someone sober around them to remind them that they are living their life in a dysfunctional way. Al-Anon can help you to recover you from this dysfunctional circle. [/QUOTE]
