Review for New Beginnings, Inc., Olney, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

A friend at work told me about New Beginnings so I attended a meeting and joined. I was embarassed about my pending divorce, so I transferred jobs within the company and told no one about the divorce. I felt like a failure. At meetings I learned there is such a thing as opposite sex friends and got hugs at the end of the meetings, which truely helps when you are alone. The discussions were held at members homes which is a comfortable setting and included topics that were relevant; it included people in various stages of recovery. The ones more advanced provided hope. I didn't feel alone. I eventually became a meeting facilatator which helped me later in my job. Having a support group to help you through the divorce process, talking with others going through the craziness truely helps. Thank you New Beginnings!
