Alcoholics Anonymous
Co-dependents Anon
Narcotics Anon
Al-Anon
Smokers AnonMainly in those we talked about our successes or our hard times, people might suggest things, and there was usually a structured opening and closing section. It can be a good place to unload, but a lot of groups do not encourage giving each other advice or suggestions. I've been to both types.
If you want to work the program, you usually get a sponsor who will be your assistant/guide during the time you go thru the 12 steps, and maybe beyond. It's certainly helped a lot of people!!
