Child Of Addict Looking For Meeting In Chicago

Hi All...

I have decided that it might be a good thing for me to start attending meetings. My father is (he says was) addicted to pain killers. He just had spinal fusion surgery and was prescribed vicadin. While I hope that he will not abuse them and will be able to stop taking them after recovery from surgery, I feel like having a support system in place in case he does relapse might be a good idea for me. Anyone have any ideas of where I can find meetings tailored somewhat towards what im looking for? Any help is appreciated.

Much love to all of you and godbless on this easter afternoon
Matthew,

This should give you a start. I am so pleased you are doing this. You will help your Dad and yourself.

Matt- you seem kind of new to this stuff. Where in Chicago are you? I'm in Chicago. I can ask one of my N friends for meeting locations or numbers you can call.
i live in the loop but will travel.

its been a year since my dad has been sober and since ive been to a meeting.
Hey Matt,

I'm in a north suburb. I posted to you a few days ago over on the Families/friends board. It's funny, I think we might be at the same school (you for law, me for undergrad). I haven't been able to find a meeting, but if you find one, let me know.

Matt- my friend only knew of those in DuPage county.

Try this:

Narcotics Anonymous
212 South Marion Street Suite 27, Oak Park, IL 60302
(708) 848-4884

They can find a meeting near you I am sure
Hey Marla,

I have not been able to find a meeting yet either. Except for one out in Evanston...I was more looking for one in the Loop.

Feel free to IM me sometime if you want to chat. Waterpoloplyr17

Hey Matt,
I'm over in Evanston... wonder where that meeting is? Check back to the Fam/Friends board too, I've found it's a lot of help.
