update and question
Just a quick update...
My sister is in treatment and to see her, we needed to attend 2 Ala-non meetings signed by the chair.
My mom asked my sister's counselor why Nar-anon meetings weren't accepted. Both Mom and I have been attending meetings for almost 6 months. The counselor didn't know much about Nar-anon, neither did the intake person, so they were very happy to receive info.
I had printed info. from the Nar-anon website and sent it to them. Hopefully, it will help others!
Also, when Mom and I went to the Alanon meetings this past week, there was a parent of a 19 yr. old addict sharing and she said she wasn't sure if she was in the right place. We spoke to her after the meeting and invited her to the Saturday Naranon meeting. I hope that was ok to do! She didn't know about it either. I'm confused about Tradition 11. Was I not supposed to promote other meetings? Maybe I'm misinterpreting it.
