Oh, can you guys explain al-anon and narc-anon to me? I don't quite get it, but I'm trying. I don't think my family ever enabled me, for the last few months of every-day using I lived by myself, bought my own stuff, etc. My mom only ever called to check that I didn't OD again. I talked to my sponsor about that the other day and he told me I had no enablers, my family and friends did everything right.

I don't understand this "codependency" thing. It seems with Wikipedia that codependents have an issue with narcissists. But most addicts aren't narcissists in my experience. The hallmark behaviors of addiction however are very similar to narcissism, but the motivations behind the two are very different.
