CONTACTING AN ANONYMOUS ORGANIZATION

Each anonymous group has ways

for those who want support to get it.

Don't be afraid to contact them;

they know you better than you know yourself,

 and they have experienced what you have experienced.

If you don't find an anonymous program

that is right for you in this list, keep looking.

This is by no means a comprehensive list;

these are only the most common anonymous programs.

Life balance is within reach, so reach out!
