12 Step meetings

They have 12 step meeting on pretty much any addiction you can think of! These are links to some of the more common ones but look around online and talk to people in your local recovery community if you are trying to find a group on an addiction that is not listed. You can also attend an "open" AA meeting even if you aren't an alcoholic but would like exposure to the steps.

Non 12 Step Addiction Recovery Groups
I don't have any experience with these but I wanted to include them in the resources because everyone should be free to find the recovery path that works for them.

Thanks Dani. I don't have anybody to talk to while I'm waiting for therapy. Hearing you talk about it is very comforting.

I'm reluctant to say this because you're talking about some serious things here, but you're so pretty that I can barely concentrate on what you're saying. But from what I've managed to hear, this is very informative and you're doing an excellent job with it :)

@spinemelter2000 They have them for pretty much any addiction you can think of. If you can't find one in your area you can probably find one online. I put a link in the video description for some resources. :)
