Soooo....
We didn't get enough of the DUCK discussion on the Naranon page? We want to FOWL things up over here, too? Happy to oblige. WATER friends for.
Rose, forgive me if it seems I'm not taking your problem seriously. I have been EGGED on. I have the same problem dealing with my QUACK-head, sometimes. Dealing with an addict's FEATHER BRAINED behavior can certainly put an anon in a FLAP. We get our FEATHERS RUFFLED every time they LAY AN EGG. Detachment means we let it flow over us like WATER OFF A DUCK'S BACK, but sometimes it feels like this recovery thing is not all it's QUACKED up to be.
One thing I do when I get agitated, is try to laugh. QUACK a few jokes. Life with an addict is never gonna be DUCK SOUP. If you take everything they do seriously you'll QUACK up.
You know what to do when you feel like you're SWIMMING upstream. WADDLE off to an alanon meeting, or come here. You'll feel like a DUCK IN WATER.
Hugs,
Smoke
