Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Have you tried everything you can think of to change the addict and nothing seems to work? Don’t give up. There is hope. You are at a turning point. If you would like your life to be different, Nar-Anon can offer you a better way to live. You will meet people at Nar-Anon meetings who understand your frustration.
We come to Nar-Anon because we are burdened with responsibilities and feel we are alone. We find people in Nar-Anon who understand what we are going through and are ready to share their experience, strength, and hope to help us.
In Nar-Anon, we learn how to live one day at a time; we stop projecting. We learn how to deal with our feelings of fear, guilt, obsession, anxiety, and denial. We look at ourselves and put our energy where we do have some power over the choices in our own lives.
With the understanding that addiction is a disease, and the realization that we are powerless over it, as well as over other people’s lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our own.
The Nar-Anon Family Groups are a worldwide fellowship for those affected by someone else’s addiction. We carry the message of hope by letting others know that they are not alone.
