When we join a support group, we are committing to giving and getting acceptance and understanding that is really not available anywhere else. These are like-minded folks with similar life experiences and similar goals. We pull together to accomplish these goals. We win by being totally in this thing together. The possibility of full recovery from addiction, traumatic stress, and/or mental ills is greatly enhanced by attending regular meetings. This just works.
