The purpose of this group is...supportive...

"A supportive resource for people recovering from addictions (drugs, alcohol, over-eating, gambling, etc.) which negatively affect all areas of their lives, and for friends and family of recovering or active addicts."

It is not argumentative.., but supportive.

We are trying to help and support each other rather than argue. . We need to get through today without using. Please let's keep to the purpose. When this was started, I was a part time moderator with another member. We need to keep to our purpose, please .......

My close relative is an addict, in treatment, but struggling. Drugs, alcohol (very abusive, not a few drinks with dinner) and I have gone to one Al-Anon meeting. I'm intending to go to more, but it is incredible how someone else's affliction can have such an impact on those surrounding them.
