Parents of Addicts Community Group
A safe group for Mothers and Fathers of addicts, where we can share feelings, and ask for feedback.
we need to reflect on the first step to the twelve step program, for us
we admit that we are powerless over the addicit,, that our lives become unmangeable...
when it comes to our love ones,,, all of us our wired to protect, nurture, and fix whatever we can for our love ones..... the first step for "our" recovery is realizing, we have no power, or control,, and that our lives are out of control,,,,, the first thing we need to do,, is manage our own surroundings,,,, this is the point, that we have to "Let Go"
Addicts, will find ways to survie,, so when you tell them no,, it's okay,,, tough love does not mean not loving,,, it means i AM done watiching you destroy yourself,,,
Enabling means,,, doing for the addicit, that they can do for themselves,,,,,
most importantly,,,,,,,,, there is a difference from being clean,, and not using,,,,,
being clean,, is a state of mind, physical, emmtional, and spiritual act,, usually more then 20,30,even 90 days,,,,, when an addicit can give back to the community, thats the day they become clean
Not using, simply they have not used a substance,,,
I pray for all of you,,,,, where there is life,, there is hope,,,,
hugs

"Generally speaking, we influence others most profoundly when we do not seek to change them at all, but simply go about straightforwardly doing the right and loving thing."
Cease to dwell pessimistically upon the wrongs around you; dwell no more in complaints about the evil in others, and commence to live free from all wrong and evil yourself. It is true there is much evil and misery in the world, so that all our love and compassion are needed, but our misery is not needed - there is already too much of that. (James Allen, Above Life's Turmoil)
