This is a list of the current help available.
Celebrate Recovery. This is an open group (anyone can come or leave) that is church based. A group of people meet once a week to celebrate recovery. In most cases all addictions are included in the group. The first hours or so is the whole group listening to a testimony the second hour the genders are separated and in many places there is enough people to separate by addiction: chemical dependency (alcohol and drugs), sexual and even co-dependency. The women’s group is typically divided as well in love addiction, substance and “life issues”.
12 Steps. This is a closed group (usually does not accept members after the 4 meeting. The fact that is closed allows the members to develop trust so that open and honesty can be practiced. There are many books that explain the steps and are readily available in amazon and other sites.

Accountability Partner. This person is essential in your recovery. He walks with you in your road of recovery. He check on your progress. He is not your best friend that covers you when you fail. He is the one that keeps you in the narrow path even with tough love. He speaks the truth even when it hurts.
Mentor. This person has gone before you in his recovery road. He was previously an addict himself. He knows the steps. He knows the lies and eventually became free.
