Comments:
Group meetings offer reassurance through meeting friendly people with similar problems who have found a way to live a more healthy life; understanding of each other's feelings and struggles; a safe place to voluntarily express feelings and fears without being judged; acceptance and emotional support that may be lacking at home, school or work; fellowship with caring people; and encouragement to keep trying. |
