Addiction Support Groups in California

Develop increased awareness of the patterns that pertain to the co-dependent tendencies that are significantly interfering with your life and relationships. Learn skills in setting more effective boundaries and communicating more assertively as you alleviate doubt, build confidence, and effectively manage the pressure in response to others. Gain a stronger commitment to your own, true identity by more rigorously exploring what you want, expect, and deserve of yourself and others, while learning to more effectively free yourself from the binds of co-dependence.

There are many self-help support groups to choose from, and all have tremendous value! They all teach helpful tools. Recovery Hill's group goal is to get you to actually implement those tools in times of need. This is unique. There is not a reading of by-laws, or committee meetings to attend. We won't avoid hypocritical behaviors, but confront them and grow as a group!
