The Nar-Anon Family Group
is primarily for you who know or have
known a feeling of desperation concerning the addiction problem of
someone very near to you. We have traveled that unhappy road too and
found the answer with serenity and peace of mind.
When
you come into the family group you are no longer alone but among true
friends who understand your problems as few others could. We will
respect your confidence and anonymity as we know you will respect ours.
We hope to give you the assurance that no situation is too difficult and
no unhappiness is too great to be overcome.
Our
program, which is not a religious one but a spiritual way of life is
based on the 12 suggested steps of Narcotics Anonymous. We have found
that the working of these steps will bring the solution to practically
any problem.
We
urge you to take this program and its 12 steps seriously. It has been
helpful to us as the NA program is to the addict. We only ask for the
widsom and courage to see oursevles as we really are, to do something
about ourselves with the help of a higher power as understand this, and
for the grace to release our addicts with love and cease trying to
change them. .
Keep
an open mind and attend as many meetings as possible. Feel free to ask
questions and to enter into the discussions. You will soon make new
friends and feel very much a part of the group.
With the understanding that addiction is a disease and the realization that we are powerless over it as well as over over people's lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own. Then, and only then can we be of any help to others.
