Reasons to Attend Support Groups

SHARED EXPERIENCE

The sense of shared experience is worth participating in a support group. When you meet with others who have endured the same struggle, you are encouraged. You discover your issues are not unique. Other people understand exactly what you're going through. You're one of a group, rather than one of a kind.

RELATIONSHIPS

One thing that often happens with support group participation is friendships--friendships that wouldn't have begun for any other reason. These friendships can become rewarding relationships based upon shared conditions or experiences.

INFORMATION

The support groups are a source of information. Where else could you go to find pertinent information? What's more, if folks in the group don't have the answers you seek, they'll generally know where to direct you to get answers. Knowledge is power and support groups can help equip you with the knowledge you need to achieve your goals.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Without accountability, it's easy to slide off your program. People who go it alone, often find themselves losing control and veering off course. Support & Recovery groups encourage progress.
