I've been a part of my Nar-Anon group for almost 2 years now, and as the others said, the first few I cried and cried and cried, they also handed me tissues and made me FEEL accepted and no longer alone in my confusion. Eventually I was able to open up and share my own thoughts and feelings. That group saved my life, gave me more hope and support than anyone else in my life.
I am in a different place right now as I have given up almost all contact with my exha, however, now I'm giving back to the newcomers who are in the place of dispair I was 2 years ago.
I have never forgotten how I started out in the group, I see a part of myself in each new person that arrives who is lost, scared and beat down by the insanity of addiction.
Keep going back!
