Group meetings will help you to achieve moving forward with your problems and look with other people at the issues that you share in common, the differences, their experiences in overcoming their problems, give you a sense of support and a sense of being part of it. Often, for people, the idea of being alone with their problem is the thing that's scary. "There isn't anyone in the world but me with an alcohol problem. Everyone will dislike me. I can't explain to anyone." So, when you're within a group of people, those things disappear. You are able to move forward and you are able to recognize that you do have some control over changing your life and some control over your alcohol misuse problem.
