Butch Femme Planet - View Single Post - Al-anon, Nar-anon: when someone you love is practicing addiction.

Kätzchen · 12-26-2015, 01:25 PM

This past year has been challenging for both my young son and I. I have spent months laying the ground work for what happens next (intervention).

I first had to admit to myself that my young son is an alcoholic of epic proportions. Then I admitted to myself that I could no longer participate in his recovery, that recovering my own sanity comes first. I love my son, but I don't like or love the disease that is swallowing up his precious life.

I am attending my first Al-anon meeting today.
