God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Support groups are important for the person with an addiction but equally important for parents, spouse and other key people who need hope and healing in their lives:

Two are better than one,
Because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down,
            His friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
            And has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
            But how can one keep warm alone?
Through one may be overpowered,
            Two can defend themselves
A cord of their strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
