[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 764542, member: 23742"] Dear In a daze, Yes, I do remember you, and thank you so much for your kindness. I don’t think I’ve seen a post from you in a while. Maybe you can give us an update. At the bottom of your posts your tag line mentions the three Cs. I had seen those words frequently on this forum and heard them again recently at an al-anon meeting. Is that where the saying came from? In any event, the people on this forum who have recommended al-anon did my husband and me a great service. I didn’t think I would like that type of format (apparently different al-anons have different formats) but the people there were so kind and gentle; non-judgmental, just like they are here. And they put the focus on themselves and their healing, not the drug or alcohol abuser, just like we do here, or try to anyway. I think that’s what we all struggle with. But being around others who shared the same experience helped us. And although we had only attended for about two months before my son passed, we felt very much a part of the group. I hope you’ll continue to post, In a daze. It was good to hear from you. [/QUOTE]
