Dental Support GroupThe Dental Support Group is a support group for dentists in recovery and invited guests. It is run the same way as an AA meeting. However, it is not an AA meeting. For example, we encourage members to talk about drugs other than alcohol. This is a forum for dentists to share problems and concerns affecting their professional and personal lives. We encourage the members of this group to seek the fellowships of AA, NA, or mental health groups, and for newcomers we stress the importance of attending ninety meetings in the first ninety days of recovery. Successful recovery involves not just coming to this support group meeting twice per month, but also regular attendance at other fellowship meetings, working the twelve steps of recovery with a sponsor, and working with others with similar problems. Please remember, this is a confidential meeting, who you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here. |
Time and LocationThe meeting is at 7 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at:

"Sobriety and continuing to grow along spiritual and emotional paths mean that I never have to fear the past or the future because I know now that today is all I really have. Therefore, I have nothing to hide with addictive or compulsive behaviors because I lend my fears to a higher power outside myself so I can accept and enjoy myself and others."
This program was awarded the Golden Apple for Excellence in Dentist Well-Being Activities in 2006 by the American Dental Association (ADA). This is a national award that is only given to one program per year.
