We are very proud of you. So many of you have written about the support groups you are pulling together all over the country and world. People-helping-people is what abandonment recovery is all about.

Please post your efforts to start these groups on this page. That's what it's here for - to help others link up with you.

As you can see from reading the directions in the workbook "Journey from Heartbreak to Connection," starting an abandonment support group is as easy as following a recipe. Groups run by peers as well as professionals are beginning to form around the country.

What makes setting up a group so easy is that each member is held equally responsible for following the written format, using the topic questions in the workbook, and making the group run smoothly - it's not all up to the co-facilitators.

Notice: There are two facilitators per support group so you don't have to take this on alone.

These POSTING SERVICES are just getting started and we need people to join up and start posting to propel the movement forward. Please help us out by posting your interest in finding a group (or co-starting one) in your area.
