I know what you mean. When you share with people, they often have well meaning advice, but if they were in your shoes then they would know that it's not so easy. I went to my first meeting last night. Am going to another tonight. It will be a slow process to really be able to detach and move on with my life. The addict in my life is my 33 year old son.
I am new here too. My boyfriend has been an addict for over 4 years. I don't talk to anyone about it. My anxiety is through the roof because I can't talk about it. I am also really embarrassed to talk about it and makes me think how everyone else thinks. I am 30 years old and invested 4 years into this relationship for what? Separating from him scares me even more because I feel like a complete failure. I completely understand what you are going through. I am at a stage right now where I am in the process of trying to get him out of my house. I just don't think I am strong enough to do it.
I am new to this as well. My husband is an addict and has came so close to losing his life just last week from taking one Xanax before he went to bed. He has been detoxing with Suboxone since February and decided he could also take Xanax with it and found out the hard way that they were not good to mix. I am so very thankful he is still alive and is ok and I pray he has learned a very valuable lesson.

Hello there I'm new here too. I've recently found Naranon online . I'm in the UK we don't have Naranon only Alanon. My two sons are both addicts one is 26 the other 32. I don't know how much I can cope with all this. I am trying hard to accept it and detach with love. Even though I'm not quite sure what that means. Just feel utterly sad my heart aches with the loss. Even though thank God they are not dead. I'm grieving. Need others mums to talk to. Thanks
I have just joined and went to my first meeting the other night it was overwhelming too hear the stories but felt good at the same time. My husband is now in recovery for meth. It has been 3 weeks since his last relapse. I don't know how I can deal with his violent mood swings from the drug. I do luckily have people too talk too but it is not the same when they don't have that problem
