Resources
While living at a Eudaimonia sober living home, you can combine our support services with a local community group. In fact, we recommend it.
Combining daily routines in sober living homes with regular attendance at recovery support groups can be helpful. This approach can support you during early recovery. This connection can keep you close to peers even after you move into independent living.
Many reasons explain why this combination is so effective. First, recovery support groups offer a quick network of peers. They understand the challenges of starting a new life without alcohol or drugs. That sense of belonging matters—especially during transitions, stress, or triggers.
Groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Cocaine Anonymous (CA) offer helpful tools. You can start using these tools immediately. They teach you how to deal with cravings, rebuild relationships, and manage emotions without using substances.
Third, meetings happen every day in many neighborhoods. You can keep attending for recovery support, even if work, school, or family duties change.
To join a local support group near our sober living homes, please check the list below. It has meeting times and locations in your area.
Why Combine Sober Living with Groups?
- Accountability & Routine: Sober living homes offer house guidelines and a recovery‑focused routine. Adding AA, NA, or CA meetings provides another dependable rhythm to your week. Many residents say that checking in with a local support group is helpful. They do this daily or several times a week. It helps them stay focused on their recovery.
- Skill Practice: Meetings are a place to practice what you’re learning—sharing honestly, asking for help, and giving support to others. You’ll hear practical tips that have worked for people facing similar situations.
- Community & Belonging: Recovery can feel isolating at first. Regular attendance connects you to recovery groups where friendships and mentorships (like sponsorship in AA or NA) naturally form.
- Accessibility & Choice: You can choose from small, quiet meetings or large speaker meetings. Find a format that suits your personality and needs.
- Continuity of Care: If you’re working with therapists, counselors, or attending outpatient, groups reinforce those efforts. The more touchpoints for recovery support you have, the stronger your safety net.
Eudaimonia Recovery Homes
What kinds of groups are available?
People with substance use disorders find help in a variety of mutual‑aid settings:
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
A 12‑step fellowship for anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Many of our residents attend AA meetings regularly.
Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
A 12‑step fellowship for people recovering from drugs of any kind.
Cocaine Anonymous (CA)
A fellowship for those recovering from cocaine and other mind‑altering substances.
Al‑Anon Family Groups
Support for family members and loved ones affected by someone else’s drinking. (We’ll reference it here exactly as many people search for it online: al anon.)
Identity‑Specific Meetings
For example, LGBTQ+ groups such as Gays and Lesbians in Alcoholics Anonymous create welcoming spaces to share openly.
Topic-Focused Meetings
Some meetings focus on meditation, literature, or first steps. Others are for newcomers.
These fellowships are not therapy or medical treatment. They are peer-led groups that are free and open to anyone. They help those seeking support for substance abuse or those wanting to help a loved one. They pair especially well with clinical services and the stable environment of sober living homes.
Recovery Support Groups in Austin, Texas
Alcoholics Anonymous Austin offers many meetings throughout the city. These meetings are held from downtown to North and South Austin.
They run from early morning to late evening. You’ll find newcomer‑friendly groups, step studies, and speaker meetings. Many residents pick one meeting to be their “home group.” They also attend extra meetings during stressful times or important events.
The Austin Galano Club is a well‑known, LGBTQ+‑affirming space that hosts meetings from multiple fellowships throughout the day. Residents often appreciate the welcoming environment and the chance to connect with people who understand both recovery and identity‑specific experiences. If you’re building a routine, the Galano Club’s consistent schedule makes it easier to attend several times per week.
Narcotics Anonymous in Austin offers daily meetings across the metro area, including open and closed formats. If your main issue is drugs other than alcohol, NA can be a great choice. Many people go to both AA and NA to build their support network. Together, these recovery support groups help you build skills, relationships, and confidence while you stabilize in early recovery.
Recovery Support Groups in Houston, Texas
The Houston Area Narcotics Anonymous group offers many meetings in different neighborhoods and suburbs. This makes it easy to attend, no matter where you live or work.
If you travel or move within Texas, the Tejas Bluebonnet Region Narcotics Anonymous can help. They offer a regional directory and useful resources. Both are excellent ways to stay engaged with recovery groups even during busy periods.
Houston Alcoholics Anonymous supports a large number of groups with diverse formats. Whether you prefer lunch‑hour meetings near the office or late‑night options, you’ll find something that fits. Many sponsorship and service opportunities exist in Houston’s AA community. These can help you grow personally and offer ways to give back.
Recovery Support Groups in Colorado Springs, Colorado
If you stay in our Colorado homes or move to the Front Range, you will find a friendly recovery community. Colorado Springs Alcoholics Anonymous—often searched simply as Colorado Springs alcoholics anonymous—hosts daily meetings across the city and surrounding areas. From Old Colorado City to the east side and beyond, there are options morning to night.
For individuals recovering from drugs, Pikes Peak Narcotics Anonymous offers a supportive, peer‑driven environment. Many residents appreciate the camaraderie and the straightforward focus on day‑to‑day recovery tools. If cocaine or stimulants were part of your history, Cocaine Anonymous of Colorado provides additional focus and fellowship.
Identity‑affirming groups matter, too. Gays and Lesbians in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in the region offer safe, inclusive spaces.
These recovery support groups ensure you don’t have to choose between your recovery and your identity. If you are looking online, try phrases like “support groups in Colorado Springs,” “Pikes Peak NA,” or “LGBTQ+ AA in Colorado Springs.” This will help you find nearby options.

What to Expect at Meetings
For people new to mutual-aid recovery, the first meeting can feel scary. However, it often becomes surprisingly comfortable once you are in the room.
Most meetings start with a brief introduction, readings that outline the group’s purpose, and a topic or speaker. Some meetings are “open,” so anyone can attend. Others are “closed,” which means only those who share the problem can join.
Sharing is always optional. You’ll hear real stories about managing cravings, repairing family relationships, finding employment, and rebuilding life after substance abuse. Many meetings end by exchanging phone numbers. That simple step creates lifelines you can use when stress rises.
Most mutual-aid meetings have no dues or fees. Groups support themselves through voluntary contributions. This makes them incredibly accessible.
You’ll also find a culture of anonymity and confidentiality designed to protect participants. If transportation is a problem, please talk to our staff or ask at a meeting. Members often help newcomers find rides to other AA meetings or NA/CA gatherings.
Family and Loved Ones
Recovery reaches everyone in a household. While you focus on your program, encourage family to explore al anon or similar groups for loved ones.
They will learn the difference between helpful support and enabling. They will also learn how to set healthy boundaries and find their own healing. When families join a community support group, and residents commit to their own groups, communication improves. This makes the home environment healthier for everyone.
