Well, I've been looking for a support group also.
Here are some of the groups that I have found that run support groups:NAMI
NDMDA
Emotions Anonymous
Recovery Inc.
Programs associated with Universities eg UCLAI'm thinking that I may go to an Emotions Anonymous meeting first. I have friends who are in AA, who have had great success with their program. I was sort of surprised with all of these groups, you would think a city like Los Angeles would be overflowing with meetings and so forth. Not so. NAMI and Recovery have the most meetings. If I really get my act together, I'll go to a meeting of each organization. Given the number of meetings Recovery has, I just think it's unlikely that the views espoused in their old book are adhered to anymore. Still, they do sell the book as representative of their program.
