I have looked all around the web and cannot find sites dealing with support for families of drug addicts and / or the issues of being co-dependant. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? PM me if you like, I sure could use the help.

Thank you in advance :)

I don't know of any sites on that subject specifically but I know that there are people here dealing with those issues. Myself, I am a recovering addict (19 months strong) with an addict husband in prison (2 years now, 2 1/2 to go) and this is not his first time in prison due to his drug use, this is also not my first time to wait out here for him. It is a tough issue, and co-dependency is my middle name. I have been in NA for 19 months but found it necessary to also join al-anon because I become obessesed with "Tony you have to get into a recovery program or you will spend the rest of your life in & out of prison, you can't quit on your own, you have to start." I had NA send him the main books they use but it's not enough, he needs meetings & a sponsor, .... I became obsessed with this way of thinking. Al-anon helped some but even there I didn't really feel like I fit in, I feel like I'm crazy for continuing to stay with him when I have no reason to believe he is doing anything to make sure he stays clean. I just started going to counseling a few weeks ago because I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes. Alanon did help me to see though that I can't spend my time worrying about him, what he will or will not do, I can't waste away my life in worry because it doesn't change a thing. I used to get depressed when ever he was depressed, because I felt like I shouldn't feel happy when he is depressed, and now I have learned that it's okay for me to be happy even though he is not, and when I am depressed it doesn't make his depression go away anyway. I have learned that I have to go on with my life NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. The book, "Co Dependent no more" is excellent on this issue and I strongly recommend it. I still have a long way to go on this subject, but I do feel like I am making progress and I have found PTO to be a good place to talk because at the meetings I go to I don't know anyone who has a loved one in prison, I still feel like no one can relate but when I found this site I found a lot of people can relate. I know I don't want to spend the rest of my life waiting to react to something he does or does not do, but it's hard because I want us to stay together, well I'm just talking in circles, PM me if you like.

I have several AA/Al-Anon sites on the Web and a Nar-Anon site bookmarked and sent the list to Brandy last night... would you like a copy of the list, Kathy? (or anyone for that matter...)

CoDA or CoDependents Anonymous has a pretty good website: http://www.codependents.org/
Lots of resources and online directory of meetings [state specific guide].
