I have been in Nar-Anon a short time (6 months or so).
I am out-of-my-mind. Anxiety in mornings/depressed, acting like detective. I was carrying on with lots of yelling (not me).
Adult child now 27 had a traumatic event happen in November and because she is a drug addict (pills) she started using Heroin. In January she told me what she did, and the next day I drove her to treatment.
Prior to the she was addicted to Percocet. Her father took her to Outpatient treatment….Psych gave her Xanax was going to school at night plus two jobs.
She wanted to stop Xanax and had seizure. Detoxed. Never stayed for recovery.
Has not pursued recovery since this last stint in treatment.
My issues are: no trust, suspicious. snooping, worry, fear. I know you can all relate. She is looking for work. Had to get her a car. Carrying a financial burden from using drugs, and losing jobs.
My other issues are anger/resentment and shame.
I do know I didn't cause it, control it or cure it, but I keep plugging away.
Lots of drama and chaos from arguing. I have been in another Fellowship for 18 years (Alo-anon) and keep close to my program and friends. There is only 1 Nar-Anon meeting in this area and sadly the long time members sit in silence.
May have to start a meeting….will call WSO
Looking for an outlet and thank you…..have a nice day:)
Hi Ozzy, thank you for coming to the online Naranon. Have you tried calling any of the members? There may be several reasons for silence. Maybe you can try chairing the meeting and introducing topics from books. The people in that meeting may be more comfortable sharing when it is related to one of the Naranon readings. Service helps other people and helps you at the same time. Have you tried the chat meetings? There will be one tonight.
