I am looking for support groups on the internet for various life issues. Do you have any experience with online-support I am wondering if anyone knows of or has had any experience with online-support groups. If you have or know of any good sites available please share them.

Why they are good, what aspects are better then others. As opposed to like attending AA or NA or going to a counselor. Thank you for your thoughts.

This is the very Best site I have found with folks that really care. The address to this site is: " foru.ms/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=232&page=1... This forum has many other topics other than just advice. This is well covered all over the world..

I would think these would be an example I am a member of Quitnet.com which is a site for people who are trying to quit smoking or who have quit and just need to talk to others who are trying to quit, etc. I am also a member of Sparkpeople.com which is a site for persons with eating problems, overeating, undereating, or for people who have problems with different foods. They both have helped me tremendously. I think they can be good, but sometimes it is not the same as someone being right in front of you that you can see their actual reactions and hear the tone of their voices, or see the motions of their bodies.

Without knowing wxactly what you are interested in I can't give an exact recomendation. Mine has been helpful to me. I asked a clarification question that has been unanswered.

I am going to answer as best I can. I belong to an online support group for single fathers. It has been very helpful to me to know that I am not alone in dealing with difficult issues in my life.It has helped to know about some other problems that I have avoided or not been challenged with, so no matter how bad a day I am having I know there are others who have gotten through worse times.

It has been very helpful to be able to vent to people who know what I am going through. I have also got some very good advice on how to deal with several issues I was at a loss for.It has been a nice boost on a few occasions when sharing my experience or advice has helped some one else. Overall, I am very happy and feel very fortunate to have access to the online support group that I am in.

It is not a complete replacement for a real friend to talk to in person, but sometimes it can be better. If you find the right support site you will be pleased. Best wishes and God bless you.

Not weight loss, but maintaining after losing weight.

I was just noticing all the support groups listed in the local.

I was always lead to believe that if a person is on life support of any kind (such as o2 etc) that it was a federal law.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
