--- Quote from: jheartney on 27 Feb 2015, 09:32 ---I'm willing to bet that there's more people who think they don't need a support group, but do, than people who don't really need one. (See "dry drunk syndrome.")

Also, "white knuckle sobriety."

--- Quote from: SomeCanadianWeirdo on 26 Feb 2015, 19:59 ---I wonder if we won't see a familiar face or two at the support group. Steve seems to have had a booze problem after he broke up with Ellen. It was what led to his recruitment by whatever section of US intelligence he works for. It could make for a good excuse to bring back some character from the past who's been MIA for a long time.

FAYE: "Padma?"

Sooo....that's a "yes" to the Fight Club idea?
osaka:
Most definitely.

--- Quote from: emilygrrl on 27 Feb 2015, 08:55 ---Do we even know that Faye will find the support group helpful? A while back we discussed the idea of her going to AA, and we came to the conclusion that Jeph would nix the idea, due to his own experience with getting sober.
I'm thinking if Faye does go to the support group, this will be Jeph's way of expressing it as a shitty option, and have her eventually quit and go her own way.

AA isn't the only group option out there. Besides, with groups (as with individual therapists), it takes a few tries sometimes to find the right fit, assuming the group dynamic works for you (and it doesn't for everyone).

Has anyone tried reviving The Washingtonian Society? Having a non-theistic support group around would probably help out a lot of alcoholics who are turned off by AA's religious based program.
