Need some advice


hi
I am new here. I have a sister who is a addict and I have tried to help her many times but I guess she is not ready for my help.
I am wondering is there any help or meetings that me and my family can attend. We are having a really hard time with this and I would love for my parents especially to get more info. We dont want to enable her we just need to know what to do.

I have looked into local meeting but I dont know in non addicts are welcomed.

Thanks so much!!!

Greetings hbchrissy,

You can check out what each of the local NA meetings is listed as - open or closed. Mostly a few of the NA meetings are open to non-addicts like family members or any other person interested in the NA message, and I'm sure your community will also have such open NA meetings too. Just check out the local meeting directory or if that is not mentioned there, get the local NA helpline number or contact a NA member thru phone or mail there in your town. He or she would be able to guide you to the open meetings.

Also, there is a sister fellowship called "Nar-Anon Family Groups" for the loved ones of addicts, and it is a wonderful opportunity and pathway for understanding and personal healing. I'm also a part of this fellowship, as apart from being an addict myself, I'm also a spouse of an addict.

You can check out this official website of Nar-Anon for further details and information. The link is

http://nar-anon.org/index.html

Also, check out this link to locate a Nar-Anon family group meeting nearby your place. The link is

To locate "Open" NA Meetings in your locality, use this link...

Another online support forum that I have been making use of is

Hope this helps... All the best... I will have you and your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers.

Blessings and Peace,

Tahir.
