[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647031, member: 1550"] Actually, you have Narc-Anon or Al-Anon already formed. It would save you the trouble of having to facilitate it and try to recruit. I think the majority of parents who have teens on drugs would be more apt to go to a group that is already formed. Or if you have a private therapist, ask if there is another self-help group in the area. NAMI (NAtional Alliance for the Mentally Ill) is also a resource. I think that could be good for your daughter's issues. Frankly, if your son is doing drugs as serious as oxycotin his main problem has become his drug abuse. The depression is secondary and will not clear up until he quits so if it were me (and it WAS me once), I'd address the drug abuse first. I went to Al=Anon. It saved my sanity. Years ago I tried to start my own group and maybe it's my incompetence, but it never took off. Wishing you lots of luck!!! [/QUOTE]
