Hello everyone.

I am obviously new here,but not new to Alanon.I have been in recovery for nearly a year.I live in a very small town with only one f2f meeting available each week.I feel I need more than what I am receiving there,therefore I started searching online and ended up here.

I hope I can find what it is I am seeking here(whatever that may be,I am not quite sure yet).

Welcome SS, we do have on-line meetings 2X a day and you can
certainly work the 12-steps here as well. Both can be located
via the two buttons at the top right and left of this screen.
Wishing you well!

So many warm welcomes!Thank you.

I want to mention that my qua!ifiers,my 2 sons,are addicts and not alcoholics,I am not sure if that makes a difference here or not since a drug is a drug.Please let me know if there is an issue with it though.

I was drawn to Alanon rather than Naranon or anything else so I went with my gut instinct.Plus the fact that my town only has Alanon.

SoggySlippers -

My 2 sons are also far more interested in drugs than Alcohol....however, they can't handle that any better (trial and error). My location also has a very strong presence of Al-Anon and a smaller presence of Nar-Anon so I did exactly what you're doing. I believe you are just fine and dandy as we tend to focus on ourselves and how the disease affects us vs. them and what they are/are not doing.

Others may feel differently but haven't seen anyone poo-poo you yet!!! Ha.ha.ha.....

Glad you are here!

drugs and alcohol are in the category of mind and mood altering chemicals...Some users and drinkers make what they do better than others and then this is the pride and ego of the individual.  The chemicals are toxicants meaning poisons and they get to the brain first and then the rest of the body...they are not health food and should not ever be taken lightly.   Glad you have found this family...we stand with each other for each other and know that it works.    ((((hugs)))) smile
