[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 748161, member: 22877"] I've been going to a local NarAnon for about a month now. It's been a lifesaver. I've learned that enforcing boundaries and "tough love" don't make me a bad mother. I've learned that there are people in worse situations than mine, and in better, but that I am far from alone in my struggle to maintain some sense of normality in a totally abnormal situation. I've learned better ways to react as well as help others learn as well. I heard this phrase a long time ago "Once an addict, always an addict." There are people in my group whose loved one(s) haven't used in months or years but are still struggling with the fallout of addiction. They would welcome you as warmly if your kids were completely drug free as they would if they were strung out on heroin or crack, or even alcohol or marijuana. Try it out, either NarAon and/or AlAnon...trust me, you won't regret it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
