Would I be welcome at an al-anon meeting if the person in my life is an addict, but not a drinker?

Question by TopangaWoman82: Would I be welcome at an al-anon meeting if the person in my life is an addict, but not a drinker?
My mother has an addiction and it is deeply affecting my life. She behaves very much like a stereotypical alcoholic, however, she does not drink. Her addiction is more obscure, but it’s hurting me very much and I can relate to children of alcoholics. I know people who al-anon has helped, but I was wondering, from people who have actually been to meetings if I would be welcome. Thank you.

Well of course you would be welcomed with open arms. There are other meetings however that are more for drug addicts. Tell them your story and ask advice.
