I went to tons of Alanon/Naranon meetings - read their literature - talked to folks that had been through it. Educated myself on the disease so I could make an informed decision about what I needed to do. I just thought that if I loved my ASs enough - they would stop using. Wrong!!
Unfortunately, sometimes I wanted recovery for the addicts in my life more than they did. And that just doesn't work.
Read the stickies - they are wonderful - and keep posting and reading here. These folks have walked the path you are on.
Love in recovery,
Jody Hepler
