New here and not sure where i belong
Hello,
I'm not sure where i belong. i'm an adult child of alcoholic parents, i have a best friend that is an alcoholic and i just ended a long term relationship with an alcoholic and active opiate user. Fortunately, i do not have any alcohol/drug addictions myself, but i am an enabler and co-dependent. I have been doing a lot of reading about nar-anon/al-anon and others but i'm not sure where to actually begin because i identify with a bunch of them. whether that's a good or bad thing, i don't know. But i do know that i need help and need to work on me.
