I am new here n also new in the program., i really dont know whether i should ask this or not., anyways my question is ( n also i am a little confused)., if i am born in a disfunctional family., are my parents responsible for my disease to grow?
Hi Mac, and welcome! No it's NOT wrong to ask questions!!!!
I once heard a famous sports psychologist talk about dysfunctional families. He said we all come from one! Are we getting better or are we getting bitter??
Laying blame for the disease is a fool's game. WE have choices to make. Are we willing to put in the work to earn recovery? You are worth it. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve to get better. We will love you till you can love yourself...
Glad you found us and as Dave so .always ask questions..Here is some Wisdom from our BASIC TEXT " We were searching for an answer when we reached out and found Narcotics Anonymous. We came to our first N.A. meeting in defeat and didnt know what to expect. After sitting in a meeting, or several meetings, we began to feel that people cared and were willing to help. Although our minds told us we would never make it, the people in the Fellowship gave us hope by insisting we could recover. We found that no matter what our past thoughts or actions were, others had felt and done the same. Surrounded by fellow addicts, we realized that we were not alone. Recovery is what happens in our meetings; each of our lives is at stake. We found that by putting recovery first, the Program works.
We faced three disturbing realizations:
1. We are powerless over addiction and our lives are unmanageable; 2. Although we are not responsible for our disease, we are responsible for our recovery; 3. We can no longer blame people, places and things for our addiction. We must face our problems and our feelings.
Stick around and keep doing the daily work.....
