My group was a women’s group, I felt really comfortable all things considered. I mean with my anxiety that comes when I leave my house I probably was a bit stiff for most of it. And I know I probably only really basically lived through it, but for me it was good even that I went, you know? When they presented me with my certificate they called me up in front of everyone and said a special congratulations to me for graduating because everyone knew how hard it was for me to come. It was embarrassing but also a big compliment because it was hard. I only missed 3 groups out of the 12 group program.

I’ve been in a lot of groups - AA, NA, group therapy at the hospital, dual diagnosis group, and probably a couple of others. The group that helped me the most was the “dual diagnosis group”, a group for people both mentally ill and chemically addicted. It seemed like people were very honest and lacking in pretense, and I had one helluva problem with alcohol as well as mental illness. I’ve found that different groups have different feelings to them. There are usually a number of AA groups in any town of any size, and a person can pick and choose which group he or she wants to go to. It might be like that for your group. The group you’re going to now might be totally different than groups you’ve gone to in the past.
