[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761777, member: 23706"] Hi Laura. I am actually in the middle of a Zoom NarAnon convention right now and am speaking in ten minutes! Listen, once a person is an addict he is always one. In our group we have a woman whose husband has been sober for 24 years, but addicts are usually difficult people with certain hard personality traits so she still goes. Our addicts are always one drink or pill away from being back in the hell of addiction. You will fit in whether your son is currently using or not. Most of us in NarAnon don't really know if our beloved addict is currently clean or not. Also Nar Anon treats addiction as a family disease and is GREAT at teaching us how to use many tools to stop enabling, to stop always making our addict be our entire life (even our kid addicts) and how to still be happy. The program works on guilt, fear and resentment. We have a great Zoom group on Thursday night at 6:30CST. People from anywhere can join. Look online for NarAnon Zoom meeting if interested. Or message me about it and I will give more info. This particular group is really a good one! Also, abuse from loved ones is addressed and anything you can think of regarding a person who has ever abused substances. I hope Nar Anon works and, when you get a therapist, try to find one who has experience with both addiction and codependency. I believe it is important to find safe people you trust in real time. I hope you find a great solution for yourself. I send prayers. Love and hugs. . [/QUOTE]
