Do you lie awake worrying about the addict in your life?
Is this person missing school often without your knowledge?
Is this person missing work and the bills piling up?
Are the savings mysteriously missing?
Are the unanswered questions causing hostility and undermining your relationship or marriage?
Are you asking yourself, "What's wrong?" and "Is it my fault?"
Are your suspicions turning you into a detective and are you afraid of what you might find out?
Are normal family disagreements becoming hostile and violent?
Are you canceling social functions with vague excuses?
Are you becoming increasingly reluctant to invite friends to your home?
Is concern for your spouse, child, or friend causing you headaches, a knotty stomach, and extreme anxiety?
Is your spouse, child, or friend easily irritated by minute matters?
Does your whole life seem a nightmare?
Are you unable to discuss the situation with friends or relatives because of the embarrassment?
Are your attempts at control frustrating?
Do you over compensate and try not to make waves?
Do you keep trying to make things better and nothing helps?
Is the lifestyle of this person changing?
Do you ever think they may be using drugs?
If you have answered YES to four or more of these questions, Nar-Anon may be able to give you the answers you are looking for.

I answered at least 12 of these with a yes, and I don't know where to go to find a local nar-anon meeting. I'm going to ala-non on tues with a friend to get comfy with all of this...I don't know what to do anymore. Feeling very lost.

Yes I do need Nar-Anon. Almost every question was a yes. I couldn't believe it. Is there any meetings in the Springfield Oregon area? What if you can't afford to pay for it, is there any payment plan? We have no money right now due to his addicition and him losing his job.

If I even bring up the drugs my husband uses, he automatically thinks that I am making a mountain out of a molehill. He says I knew who he was when I married him 16 yrs ago, and besides it is just a little pot, and a little valium, and a little crank.
I personally think his denial, he honestly believes. He thinks he is totally in control of the drugs and can quit at any time. I sometimes don't say anything at all to him, untill I just can't stand it anymore, then it escalates into a big fight. I am down right now, really down on life, my husband, myself (for not doing something now). I feel like all I am is all talk and no action.I guess I know that we would altimatly end up divorced, and I don't think I am ready to give him up. I don't know!

I answered yes to almost all of the above..... My husband went to detox 3 weeks ago but I feel like I can never trust him and worry about what happens if he relapse down the line and i'm right back to square one with 2 girls who already think i'm horrible for fighting with him when he's soooo tired and stressed since that's what i told them he's in the hospital for......

Tired
I just found this site in desperation to find answers. I am involved with an addict, whom has sworn to me that this IS the last time and he will never use again. I wish I had a dime for everytime I have heard those words. I am trying so hard to understand. I do love him and I do have faith, but there comes a time when you just get so tired and you don't know what to do anymore. I am at that point in my life. I would like to find a group in my area. Conroe, Texas. Thank you.
