Being in a group that shares the same vision and goals reinforce positive changes to one’s life as a result. This is why there are support groups on weight loss, cancer and other medical conditions, parenting and just about any endeavor an individual goes through. Bonding with others and sharing experiences promote learning and provide valuable insights and realizations which are essential to one’s progress. I’ve recently joined an online mentoring club for a business venture and I could say that it really helps to actively participate in the forums and share ideas, ask questions and offer support to other members.

For instance, we know of support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Gamblers Anonymous (GA) or Overeaters Anonymous (OA). These communities get together via regular meetings which aim to help and encourage people going through the same difficult phase of addiction. For those who decide to join a support group, he has to participate in such meetings where he can reach out and give/get support to/from others who experience the same addiction.

To get information about support meetings within one’s area, an online database can be browsed over at InTheRooms Meetings which provides a Wiki to enable users to manage, revise or update meeting details such as location and time. This online recovery community is relatively new, and consists of the latest meeting details for Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA). The Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings are currently being worked on and will be finished by end of June. Since registered users are given editing capabilities, InTheRooms meeting database provide information that is very much updated and current.
