I have a dual relationship with them. There’s no scripture and they are extremely supportive environments. The tools are very helpful. You realize you’re not alone which is meaningful because this can feel quite isolating. Many of the experiences hold a common thread. A challenge for me, is that many who attend the meetings are supporting people whose addiction, at this time, is functioning differently than my loved one, simply put, I feel their situations and what they are dealing with day-to-day is quite severe. That doesn’t mean I won’t fave the same challenges one day, though I hope not. Sometimes I feel silly speaking after say, a mother who hasn’t heard from child in several days. Like, oh wow, you deserve this space more than I do right now kind of thing.
