Take care of yourself 💗💗 YES MA'AM GREAT ADVICE 👍 I did same.... Thought taking care of myself, was selfish, but I was a child. So, the adult, that wasn't an addict, took care of everyone else, (namely my parent). So, very important to know that as soon as possible and put it into practice. Journaling also saved my life as a child and an adult. Love to y'all
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm searching for a support group now and yes, working on self care! I know you posted this years ago so I pray you are doing even better! God bless you and your children!🙏🏼❤️🩹
Thank you so much for this! I needed this right now. Your words are healing and nourishing. Getting connected to Nar-Anon. I've attended Al-Anon before and looking to connect with others in similar boats. I appreciate you.
I really enjoyed listening to you. My son is 42 and he has an addiction to pills . Any kind he can , and he uses a vapor and smokes them . I’m at my end of the whole thing, and he won’t. go to rehab. A mother in a desperate need to have her son to recover. thank you I will find a place for help.
Hey Bonnie, my 44 year old is equally resistant to the idea of rehab, so I get and appreciate all you are going through! I also forget that what I believe could be his answer happens to not be their way, maybe I suggest it because it makes me feel better for 5 seconds?!! I hope we can both find something that we feel and know helps and not give up on it or ourself?!
Wow... I'm so thankful for you and your journey. Thank you for opening up with us and being so honest! I just started attending an Al-anon meeting. I had no clue there was a Nar-anon! Or the Facebook groups... All of your suggestions are so so helpful. I'm in the days of not wanting to shower, worrying about him all of the time, trying to be a mom to our 4 kids, so showering, shaving my legs, cutting my nails- those are waaay down on my list!! I can't wait to learn more. ❤
@@vanessacortez1991 I live in AZ. And I actually just joined a group for my own mental health and the first thing we did was choose a goal to work on and break it down to exactly what needs to happen to achieve that goal. My goal is to shower every day. And we meet in a group twice a week and we all shared our goals with each other, so I'm hoping having them help hold me accountable will actually get me going on a routine of taking care of myself!
I’m glad you were able to get the support when you could. The “lack of members” is something that happens in a lot of places unfortunately, which is truly unfortunate because like I said in my ‘ADDICTION! why isn’t this being talked about?’ Video ruclips.net/video/SwGIDpyrKDs/видео.html - how many people in the world that suffer with addiction, if you just multiply that with 5 loved ones that are close to them, there should be A LOT more NarAnnon members/groups statistically. Sending Love & Prayers to you and your family.
Thank you for the video. The are no al-anon or nar-anon meetings in my area. How private are the Facebook groups can your fb friends see the group that you are in or your comments in the group
@@kericox133 no they can't, unless they're in the same private group. On FB you have an option to change your FB name, photo and whether you want "private" or "public".
No, I give an update on this video ruclips.net/video/HrOSHmxvJuU/видео.html if you are interested. Fortunately he is still clean and sober to this day and continuing to rebuild his relationships with our kids.
Jose Lopez I’m sorry. This is one of my first videos and have made changes since then. Sometimes when I watch videos using headphones can help. Wish you all the best.
Diamond Eagle I’m sorry, you are the first to comment on not being able to hear the audio. This was my 3rd video almost a year ago and have made a few changes since then but haven’t experienced any problems on my devices from this end so far. Please let me know if you encounter any problems in my most recent videos. Thank you.

It’s crazy to find others going through the same thing. I feel super alone in this sometimes.

Narannon is so supportive I did ten years in a group . Sadly it closed down due to lack of members I live in Ireland
I’m glad you were able to get the support when you could.
