I've never been to -anon meetings, but can tell you about the AA/NA meetings I went to. I first went to AA because there were more meetings available where I lived, even though I am not an alcoholic. I finally found a few NA meetings, and they were okay, but I really enjoyed my AA meetings. There were several people in my AA homegroup that were either addicts, or addicts/alcoholics and they were all accepted. I would imagine a lot of al-anon meetings have a mixture of people affected by alcoholic/addicts, too.

I believe al-anon meetings will work just fine for you. The behaviors of alcoholics and addicts are pretty much the same. Although I never really discussed my addiction in the meetings, I still got what I need and I found people who I COULD talk about my addiction to after the meeting. I could also talk about my feelings and behaviors in the meetings - I just didn't mention the dope. Good luck!

Hugs and prayers!
