Online Community Support
You are not alone.
Enthusiastic Sobriety Abuse Alliance has compiled a directory of survivor online support groups and forums for ESA Survivors along with other more generalized and specialized support forums.

r/MeehanSurvivors
This is a Reddit Community for members, staff & family of Insight, Pathway, Crossroads, Cornerstone, PDAP, Full Circle, Lifeway, Freeway, SLIC Ranch, and or any Bob Meehan Alternative Peer Group program. Feel free to speak your mind on this page and share experiences with these programs but please always be respectful to other's views. We believe survivors. If you had a great time in these programs, great. But a lot of folks experience serious abuse and this page is for them.
