Hi there, welcome...One more mom of addicts who has been working on taking care of myself and letting my child find her own way. Coming here and going to Naranon; reading daily literature, working my steps...it's all helped me to find a much better way of life.
No neither my husband and I have gone to an naranon or alanon meeting. I know you are right but at this point I haven't had the energy to actually go to meeting and talk about.
You don't have to say a word...ever, if you don't want to. Just go and listen. If you find a meeting with folks who have been in the program awhile, you will find that there is little focus on addiction...It's all about taking care of ourselves. The thing that amazed me the first time I walked into my home group was how much laughter there was. How could these people experience addiction in a loved one and still laugh? But as I worked my own recovery, I found laughter too. Hugs
