(((Superdaughter)))

I know exactly how you feel! The addict in my life is my sister, whose doc is heroin. My parents aren't addicted to a substance, but they are addicted to rescuing sis from herself. Yep, we are definitely living proof that addiction is a family disease.

I'm glad you went to that nar-anon meeting. I go to al-anon because there isn't a convenient nar-anon meeting near me, but it's basically the same program, and I can tell you that my life is much more manageable when I go to meetings than when I don't. There's just something about being face to face with others who understand and have been there that no other form of help can provide.

And I totally get what you mean about being Superdaughter... I felt like that for a long time too.

Please keep coming back and reading and posting, and definitely go back to the meetings if you can. One day at a time
