No, sorry, but I'm sure someone in this forum can help - you might also want to check out one of the other forums that deal with addiction and post the question.

I haven't had experience with Nar-Anon, but have previous experience with CoDependents Anon. I think all of the "-Anon" groups have adapted the AA 12 Steps in some way to suit the type of addiction they're tackling. It IS a little different to get used to, but if you can find a group where you feel comfortable, working the 12 steps can be immensely helpful.

My previous experience with meetings has been positive for the most part. It can take a while to gain a comfort level where you're ready to share, but even the first few you attend may help in sitting and listening to other people's stories.

I have been to Al-Anon. I would think the way it works is similar. At first it is awkward, just because you go alone, but I think you will readily be comforted knowing that there are other people who share the experience of being with someone who is an addict. No pressure to talk until you are ready.

Good for you, for helping yourself.

thanks I did pose the idea to other groups and thought since addiction may be the cause for a lot of breakups maybe someone had some positive experience from working with one of the Anon groups. I wonder sometimes if I am just grasping at straws.

I lived with an addict/alcoholic. It was a nightmare. I went to Al-anon meetings but, the end was tragic. Here is a group that you might look into:

sorry, no but I wish i could find a video/computer game-Anon in my area. i heard they are becoming more prevalent, but none in this area yet.
I would think that the meeting would be about support for spouses and families of a person with a drub addiction.

Good luck to you.
