Confessions
This is the place to get it all out! Tell us what's on your mind. What's the worst thing you've done for your addiction? What's the worst thing that's happened to you because of your addiction? How have you been affected because of someone else's addiction? How has your life as an addict affected the ones you love? Reading and writing these confessions help us realize the impact that the addictions have over all of us. When posting your confession, you can choose to remain anonymous or let others see your profile name as to bring about discussions.
Mike
I found out at my Nar-Anon meeting that one of our members died suddenly this past week of a heart attack. He was 63 and his name was Mike.
We might never have known about it, except someone from the group saw his picture with his obituary. You see, we never knew his last name because the program is anonymous. We found out that the man we knew as just Mike held a law degree and a psychology degree. He graduated first in his class. He was married and had two daughters, three grandkids. He did extensive volunteer work in our community. His "guestbook" on the funeral home website had over 10 pages of tributes from family, friends, and co-workers. I never knew any of these aspects of his life. All I knew was that his name was Mike, his daughter was his addict, he was my friend, and I loved him.
