my dad is an addict, hes been in recovery since i was in the 5th grade (i am 30 now) every guy i have ever had a relationship has been an addict, its like they are drawn to me like flies to honey, i know what they are as soon as i get to know them but that doesnt stop me, cuz i can "fix" them. i know thats not true but i do it anyway and then when the relationship fails i get depressed and i turn to the things my parents tried so hard to keep me from i want this cycle to stop but i just dont know how to do it. i dont want to tell my parents cuz i dont want them to think they failed in trying to show me what the right path is.

There is only one thing you can do and that is to go to AlAnon. This is about you taking care of yourself because you don't have control over anyone else. Addiction is about all you know so it makes sense that you want to take care of others. I urge you to break the cycle you have put yourself in and seek help. AlAnon is for people exactly like you. Please don't be afraid to take that first step toward your own recovery. And, yes, you like the addicts in your life, need to recover. Email my website here at BellaOnline and let me know how you are doing and if you have asked for help.

My prayers are with you.
Blessings,

Alanon can give you the tools to help yourself. Alanon is listed in the phonebook and there is a website which lists meetings, dates and times. You can search for your state.
Also there are adult child groups. You are not alone.
God bless,
