HELLO, I AM LOOKING FOR A GROUP FOR ENABLER'S. I FOUND THE CO- DEPENDENCY SITE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT I NEED. I KNOW IT'S CLOSE, BUT SINCE MY SON QUIT DRINKING, I THINK I NEED A DIFFERENT KIND OF GROUP. LOOKED IN THE SUPPORT GROUP THING AND FOUND NOTHING. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOW'S OF ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. I CAME HERE BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE THIS SITE AND I GET ANSWER'S HERE. THIS IS LIKE MY HOME GROUP. LOVE THE GAMES B.T.W. OK THE END HUG'S TO YOU ALL...

Huh. While co-dep is something I'm familiar with, I don't think there's anything enabler-specific here on DS that I know of, either. That said, I liked this website's definitions, though it's not a support group.

Co-dep involves enabling, but also other things, so it can be hard to separate them out and target the enabling. I had issues b/c my mom is a recovering alcoholic and I was part o the "enabling" team as a kid, but also had other co-dep problems. Not enabling is actually a bigger challenge for me sometimes.

Maybe start your own group within th co-dep group? Over on PTSD we have the main board, and also member groups specific for PTSD related to (fill in blank).

Cheers and hugs,
done those twelve steps in Al-Anon, bless 'em,

Dumb question, GimmeStrength, but did you check out the Family Issues board? It's more generic and covers a range of issues from mild to severe (family friction to outright abuse situations)....

Mom hasn't had a drink since 1988. I still have to be careful I don't go all enabler-co-dep!

THANK YOU TO ALL YOU GUY'S. YOU ARE THE BEST. THIS IS WHY I COME TO THIS SITE, MY HOME SITE I CALL IT. I DID SUBMIT A SUGGESTION TO THE D.S. TEAM, DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME. I WANT TO BE MORE ACTIVE ON HERE. IT REALLY SEEM'S TO HELP. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO START A GROUP, BUT I CAN'T TAKE ON THAT MUCH RESPONSIBILITY AND MAYBE LET PEOPLE DOWN. MY FAMILY IS MESSED UP AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN I WILL BE GONE AND HAVE NO INTERNET ACCESS. BUMMER. PLUS I HAVE A VERY OLD COMPUTER, CAN'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING AND IT CRASHES FROM TIME TO TIME. CONGRATULATION'S TO ALL WHO HAVE OVERCOME THE ADDICTION'S. YOU ARE VERY BRAVE INDEED, THANKS AGAIN. I WILL TRY THE SUGGESTION'S. BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL...XO ALL CAP'S SO I CAN READ THIS B.T.W.
