ForJimC60 - Chatted with my husband, looking for his recollection of that one Nar Anon we attended, and thinking back, maybe the reason the Nar Anon meeting I attended was so negative was because of who else was there. This was not like the meetings you attend where you and the others chose to be there. This was something mandatory during the "family session" that all family members who wanted to visit with their family member in the rehab "had" to attend. The other three weeks, when the rehab's therapist conducted the meetings it was a much more guided conversation, almost a lecture. With the Nar Anon meeting, people were more free to say what they wanted and I think it was the families that made it negative, not the Nar Anon people. That being said, I want to apologize if I sounded like I was being negative on what was helping you. That wasn't my intention. Sorry.
