New here, looking for support groups ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

Hi everyone, I have been struggling with addiction since I was 11. I am now 26, and WANT to change my life for the better. I do not have any support nor โ€˜friendsโ€™ who I can confide in. Joys of being from a small town, nothing to do but bar hop lol. I was hoping someone knew of some AA groups, or a group chat sort of thing I was able to join. Thanks everyone, xx

Hey Ashley! Happy to share some awesome zoom meetings with you, and go to them with you too! Iโ€™m 27, and started using/drinking at 11 too. I live in LA so if youโ€™re in the area I can recommend some in person AA and NA meetings! Would love to support you however I can and be a friend! Sending strength and hopeโค๏ธ

Of course dude! I just sent you a friend request, I think that way weโ€™ll be able to message each other? (Iโ€™m new to this app lol) Iโ€™ll send you links and whatnot :slight_smile:

Accepted!!

Ashley you can go online and find AA meeting directory for in person meetings near you.
In my experience I found in person meetings very helpful.
Find a sponsor and do the 12 steps, make sober friends and build a new life.

Good for you! I feel this to my core! Small town where the world seems to revolve around a bottle! Here to chat anytime! Also Iโ€™ve found Nature is beautiful and Iโ€™ve taken to walks and photography itโ€™s become a real amazing healing moment for me! Best of luck!!

Welcome Ashley! There is an app you can download called Meeting
Guide that you can download and find in person or online AA meetings.
