Early recovery can be a time of discomfort, so finding a 12-step meeting that you feel comfortable in is important. Though fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous have been around for several decades, people at meetings tend to be older, male, and white, making it difficult for people from other backgrounds to feel at home. This tipsheet, developed by the JEAP Initiative, provides information to help you find the right 12-step meeting, if that is a path you wish to pursue.
