"This group helps me stay connected, and accountable. It's another tool that I use to stay sober." - Sales "I love this group. It's comfy because I don't have to look anyone in the eye, so I can just tell it like it is." - Marketing Rep "When I first started the groups I thought maybe I could just hide behind my computer. But what I noticed is that I actually started talking things out here, and everybody else in the group does too! Listening to how others handle their difficulties gives me new ways to think about handling mine. That's what I think is so great! " - Retired "I have found these online groups to be extremely effective. After rehab I was in a group where there were usually 12-14 people. Mostly it was about how you looked, what people were wearing, etc. In this group we are able to talk about things that are very meaningful, and you're not thinking about how someone looks, but rather what they are saying. Also for me, there are people in these groups who have been through a lot of different things and there have been no judgments made about one another. I have seen people move on in their lives but we have all shared our similarities. It has been so powerful." - Marketing Rep "This is wonderful to do group right from my home. When my therapist told me that I could do this from home I didn't really know how that would work. I told my therapist that I didn't want to go to another group, but I love the fact that I can just log-on from my home and be here." - Secretary "I don't know why I waited so long to do this. It feels great!" - Retired Engineer "Before now I had never been in group. To be honest I really didn't think this thing was going to fly for me. I wasn't really sure that I wanted to do a group. But now I feel really good. It's like really comfortable to talk to this group about my problems and I don't feel judged. Man, everybody needs to get stuff off his chest and be able to talk. I know I was quiet at first but now you can't shut me up! This is group is great!" - Custodian "I have had sobriety in the past. This time I have sobriety, but now I have the support of this group to help me through. I will tell you though, if I couldn't do this from home, I probably still be out there with no support." This group is great! - Administrator "I like A.A. meetings but I always have this overwhelming desire to look good to everybody, even when I don't feel it. Here I can just be myself, talk straight about what's going on for me, and you guys tell me the truth. Also, I don't have to drive to get here so that's good!" - Computer Tech "I have always believed that when the student is ready the teacher arrives. I found out about eGetgoing at exactly the right time. This student was ready, and you guys have been really great in helping me learn." - Technician "This online continuing care is the best thing I have ever done for myself" "It keeps me connected. - Outside Sales "It's like starting from 1st grade for me. I have learned A LOT! This has been a real eye-opener." - Teacher "I need to tell the truth. I need this program, and I need to tell the truth about what's going on for me. This program won't work unless I choose to work it. It's my only outside meeting connection because I can't drive. This group makes me want to suit up, and show up every week." - Homemaker "The online group is a "great tool for me because I can talk openly and I don't get so nervous." - College Student "When I first started this group I wasn't sure what it was going to be, now I look forward to being here and feel really supported by my peers." - Warehouse Worker "I look forward to attending because I can talk about real stuff and everyone is very supportive of one another." - Homemaker "I was going to several different meetings, but found many "clicks" that were difficult to enter. While I am still committed to 12-Step and continue to actively participate, in this group I always get a good feeling and feel like I belong." - Marketing "I have many people I can trust, family, friends, therapist, colleagues and this online group." - Marketing Rep "My best support comes from other addicts and alcoholics in recovery, because they go through the same kind of things that I do. This online discussion is the greatest! I enjoy the hell out of these sessions. You just can't get enough support, and I know that these groups are really supportive." - Retired "I didn't think that I would like this very much, but I found that I actually did. I started out slow but now I have 5 months of sobriety and feel really good. I would totally recommend this group to other people with these type problems. It worked out well for me." - Janitor "I have been getting a chance to explore myself, which I have never been given a chance to do. I think that the anonymity online helps immensely. I also believe that the online counselors I have worked with are very good, and really supportive. You guys have really made a big difference for me, it's been really good!" - Marketing Rep "I've always hated treatment but I really have enjoyed these groups and I find they have been very helpful to my recovery. I'll keep participating in group through the 24 sessions as long as I'm not working. You do a great job, thanks." - Sales Clerk "I've been through treatment 3 times before this. This was hard for me because dealing with my feelingshas never been easy. I got to deal with important feelings that I never had to face before. I learned how to be more assertive, and can stand up for myself which I didn't know how to do before. It's still kinda unconfortable, but I'm doing better. These groups really made a difference for me." - Computer Marketer "Wow, when I started the groups I was really out there! When I first started I thought this stuff would never help me. But you know, I really got into it. The group taught me how to communicate, especially with my mother. I learned that I don't have to react to her with anger, then use drugs over it. I am able to say no to her now, and we are getting along much better. I went back to college, and have found a sober group of friends, and I'm having fun without being loaded." - Furniture Salesman, Student "I'd never been in treatment before so I didn't know what to expect. My life was a total mess and I had been having blackouts for 3 years. I didn't think there was any hope for me. I was really uncomfortable at first but the group made me feel ok. I was surprised how easy it became to talk in the group. I was able to talk about the anger I had at my mom and learn how to deal with those feelings. I hadn't seen her in 10 years but with the group's support I got reconnected with her. It feels really good to have my mom back, and I know she's happy too." - Office Worker "When I got into the group I wanted to hide. I didn't want to be in the group but I did it as a favor for my husband. I guess favor is the wrong word, he really wanted me to do it. I mean I had been in treatment before but this was different. It taught me about my feelings, and allowed me to look at how the abuse I suffered as a kid caused me to avoid feelings. I never wanted any conflict in my life. It was too scary. But I actually talked about the conflict inside of me, and how it has helped keep me in the disease of alcoholism. I still have trouble saying no but at least I'm working at it and I'm not drinking." - Housewife "I was totally disappointed that the group was over. I really wanted to keep going. I liked the people in my group. I had been in treatment before and I could talk in this group the same way I did then. Sometimes we all talked at once. But here I learned things that were never brought up before. I really saw that I don't stick up for myself. During my last week in group I had a situation come up where I had to deal with my angry feelings. I was able to handle them and be assertive in the way I learned in group. I felt terrific and I was really proud of myself. My wife told me she was proud of me too." - Auto Mechanic "I was really skeptical about this. I work in the online world everyday and still couldn't imagine how this group thing could work. At first I just logged in and listened to what was going on in the group. I have to admit that in my head I was trying to convince myself that they were different than me, worse off. But somebody said something in the group that changed my whole perspective. I am an addict, alcoholic. I just function at a really high level. I've got a wife and kids, and I don't want to lose them over my problem. I have decided to see this thing through because I can see that I'm learning things about myself. I'm doing much better at staying sober. I have my moments, but I'm beginning to look forward to the group. The counselor has been really patient with me and all my questions. The group has been really supportive." - Communications Specialist "I missed the first session of group, but I felt comfortable in this group right away. The focus on how you experience your feelings was really important for me. I have been in therapy for 22 years and no one has ever taught me the relationship between my angry feelings and my anxiety. It's helped me to understand why I get anxious at cetain times. I don't know why my other therapists didn't point that out. It was a breakthrough for me to see the connection. The fact that I could get more out of a group online than I did in all my years of therapy really amazes me. I am really glad I decided to join this program." - Pharmacy Technician "This is a good thing. It's been a good experience for me. I like the convenience of being able to sign on from my home. I feel connected to the other group members and look forward to each group, I've been in treatment before and I am learning lots of new things. I'm glad I chose to participate in this program." - Teacher "I was really angry at work today. I couldn't stop being angry and was trying to remember ways to help myself. Then I thought about the fact that I had group tonight and I could talk about what was bugging me. It made me feel better right away. My eGetgoing group is lifesaver for me. It works so I am going to keep doing it." - Financial Aid Clerk "This group is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's given me insight and strength. I don't feel so alone and different anymore. I still want to go forward and really do it (recovery) right this time." - Computer Consultant "I have been so grateful that I came to this program. It was a hard road but this program made me open up to my problems honestly. First I had to look at them from the outside but then I started looking at them from the inside. What a difference! I can't express enough gratitude to my counselors for their help in this journey. I never dreamed that I could think differently about my disease and myself. Thank you so much!" - Finance Manager |
