Hey guys.
So I've been told that group therapy and building a support group in general is really beneficial. My therapist recently has been pushing me to go to OA.
My issue is that I have trouble connecting in these groups because most of the sources I've tried have been more directed to older people. I'm only twenty. I'm not trying to say anything negative, I just feel isolated in these situations.
My main point is; does anyone know what kind of websites would offer me support, or have online meetings to help people in their late teens/early twenties? I just have no idea where to go.

I don't know of any off-hand but my best advice would be to google exactly what you are looking for. Your therapist suggested OA - so maybe try "OA for people under 30?" or something like that?
There are people on this board of all ages so please feel free to post here and get support. It's a great group:)
