0012: Twelve-Step Group Support for Family Members of Addicts
RecoverYES.com/Episodes
Many Recovery Stakeholders have attended 12-step meetings to show support for the recovery process. While this can be an eye-opener, it can quickly become an act of codependence. Rather, the 12-step program that is appropriate for the Recovery Stakeholder is not the same program that an addict attends. These programs for family and friends of addicts are companion programs with a similar structure. Some find just what they need with these groups. Others find them lacking.
In this episode, listeners will:
- Get an overview of the positives and negatives of 12-step Anon programs
- Learn about Anon programs for Recovery Stakeholders
- Find community resources that may help aid their own recovery
Time Stamped Show Notes:
01:33 I like to find stories that help us know this to be true and this one is no different. This story is from a site called Hightimes.com. It talks about marijuana or cannabis, which is a topic that is quite controversial these days.
07:45 Aware Appreciation.
10:00 Many Recovery Stakeholders have attended 12-step meetings to show support for the recovery process. While this can be an eye-opener, it can quickly become an act of codependence.
10:34 The 12-step programs for stakeholders are commonly referred to as Anon programs … Al-Anon, Nar-Anon. CoDA is not really considered an Anon program because it’s not a companion program.
15:13 Some of the limitations of the 12-step programs are related to what I’ve just shared … that everybody is using the same piece of material.
18:22 You may have gathered that I see both sides of the coin where 12-step programs and Anon programs are concerned.
20:30 I'm feeling guilty. I asked my son and his girlfriend to leave my house. I just can't do it anymore more.
