Drug Addicts Family Support Meetings?
Question by summer: drug addicts family support meetings?
I’m eighteen and still in high school. I have a brother who is an addict and I am curious about the al-ateen meetings and al-anon meetings. Which one would be best for me? I guess is what I am wondering. I don’t want to go to a meeting where everyone is like wayyyyyyyyyyy older and vice verse… but either way I want to be able to relate to someone my age.

Well, they both would be good. As far as the second thing, you’ll find that in rehab for addiction, weather your the addict or the family, people are going threw the same thing, and it doesn’t matter how old they are. You’ll find in recovery you connect with people that you never would have been associated with in the first place. You all have one common denominator in addiction, the hurt from in your case, an addict. So don’t be afraid. Go, cause it’s set up for the “newcomer.” GOOD LUCK!!!!
