Why come?

If you are hesitant to come to a meeting, here are some effects I have observed and thought I would pass along to encourage others to come:

Reasons to come

1) to feel less alone, to realize there are others like you
2) to meet one other person and exchange contact information
3) to become inspired by another persons story of strength, hope, recovery or motivation
4) to hear strategies others have used for recovery
5) to find resources from others
6) to be heard, to be accepted, to be embraced for who you are
7) to receive specific help in your own struggle from others who know what you are going through
8) to become accountable to others in your recovery

Some people drop in only once, some come regularly. Whatever is comfortable for you is fine with us! There is an amazing power in human connection and knowing you are no longer alone with this horrible isolating disease.
