Parents of Addicts Community Group
A safe group for Mothers and Fathers of addicts, where we can share feelings, and ask for feedback.
thought I would share this with all of you
we are nt responsible for the illness or actions of others or the result of those actions
we become aware that we are obsessed with another"s behavior and as we learn to let go we find that we can live our own lives in a more manageable, happier and consttuctive way
we let our lives be guided by a power greater than ourselves and we release them with love and cease trying to change them. We admit we cannot control someone else"s life
Not to allow ourselves to be manipulated or controlled by another person
not to accept others responsibilities
not to stand in the way to prevent a crisis
not to provoke a crisis
not to make excuses, cover up or take the blame for others
we care enough not to care
not to be personally offended by the addicit. We can look past the drugs and see another human bing who has the disease called addicition which is caused by drugs.. We learn compassion.
Detaching ourselves is niether kind nor unkind. It is a simple way of beginning our own recovery program, and allows us to recover from the devastating effects that living with the disease of addicition has had on our own lives.
we beging to create a positive chain of reactions which allows us to make intelligent and constructive decisions.
Addiction is an illness, It is a physical, mental and spirtual disease that affects every area of life. It can be areested but never cured. The addicts inability to control their use of drugs is a symptom of the disease of addiciton. Even when they know what will happen when the take the first drink, pill or fix, thew will do so. this is the "insanity" we speak of in regard to this diseasee.. Only complete abstinence from the use of durgs, can arrest this disease.. No one can preven the addicit's use of the drug, or alchol,,When we accept that the addcition is a disease, and that we are powerlesswover it, we become ready to learn a better way to live
