NAR-ANON FAMILY GROUP

The Family group is primarily for you who know or have known a
feeling of desperation concerning the addiction problem of someone
very near to you. We have traveled that unhappy road too, and
found the answer with serenity and peace of mind.

When you come into the Family Group you are no longer alone but
among true friends who understand your problem as few others
could. We will respect your confidence and anonymity as we know
you will respect ours. We hope to give you the assurance that no
situation is too difficult and no unhappiness is too great to be
overcome.

Our program, which is not a religious one but a spiritual way of life,
is based on the Twelve suggested Steps of Narcotics Anonymous. We
have found that the working of these steps will bring the solution to
practically any problem. We urge you to take this program and its
twelve steps seriously. It has been helpful to us as the Narcotics
Anonymous program is to the addict. We only ask for the wisdom
and courage to see ourselves as we really are, to do something about
ourselves with the help of a higher power as we understand this, and
for the grace to release our addicts with love and cease trying to
change them.

Keep an open mind and attend as many meetings as possible. Feel
free to ask questions and to enter into the discussions. You will soon
make new friends and will feel very much a part of the group.

With the understanding that addiction is a disease, and the
realization that we are powerless over it as well as over other people's
lives, we are ready to do something useful and constructive with our
own. Then, and only then, can we be of any help to others.
