My qualifier for the Nar-Anon program is my adult daughter. By the grace of God, she is clean for 3 + years now. She began using drugs and alcohol at the age of 15. As the disease progressed her need for bigger highes led her to crystal meth (speed).
My sister and her husband have abused prescription drugs for many years. Their lives today are much the same as it was 30 years ago..... They fly from one crisis to the next, their lives are unmanageable at times, but they have still not reached their bottom.
I have one nephew, who is an active alcoholic......
I have another nephew who smokes pot on a daily basis.......
My youngest son is an active alcoholic........
The most difficult addiction to beat is the one they have at this moment. They will not change until they become willing, until it is becomes the most important thing in their lives. They have to want it and believe that with the help of God they can beat the addiction. AA and NA is filled with winners, they have a sincere desire to stop drugging/drinking for one day at a time. Each day is a new beginning!
The Nar-Anon program has allowed me to find peace. It's allowed me to love my family, dispite their addictions. It gives me hope, that God has a plan for each of them, and my job is to step back and allow HIS plan to unfold.
I pray for all the addicts out there and I pray for all of you that have love them. Don't give up on them! Keep the faith! ....and don't give up before the miracle!
Hugs and Prayers to each of you..... ~SG~

My son is my A in today. I am also the daughter of an alcoholic and a food addict and I was married to an alcoholic. My son started out with alcohol and pot, and as his disease has progressed over the years, it has lead him to crack/cocaine. He says I don't understand. I am a recovering alcoholic and pill addict whose drug of choice was more. I can understand where he is coming from and because I didn't use the things he used, he feels that he is different and can't understand what he is going through. A drug is a drug. My biggest gift was being able to set boundaries, learning to detach, and not God, which he doesn't believe in. I am not his God and I can't fix him, all I can do is pray for him and try to walk the road of recovery to the best of my ability.

Cunning, baffling, and powerful Be it alcohol, pills which were like dried up alcohol, all leads to the same soul sickness as other drugs, including addiction to OPs and relationships.
