(he/him)
I am a divorced 74 year old man who became addicted to alcohol at age 64. After 2 1/2 years I entered an outpatient program. Shortly thereafter, I began to experience strong anxiety sensations and was diagnosed with Social and Generalized Anxiety. I have experienced emotional abuse in the past. I value peer support as an integral part of my recovery from alcohol abuse and managing my anxiety.
Host Reviews
"thank you jack for always hosting the glimmer session, it gives me a glimmer for the week!"
"glimmers are like drops of sunshine. thank you for hosting this jack. "
"Jack, once again, what a great meeting. You're hosting this, helps us achieve our goals and ensures we are accountable. Please, thanks Joanne for letting us spend this time with you, and I look forward to the next meeting "
"I appreciate how the host says and does certain specific things to make a person feel welcome. I feel that my identity as a nonbinary individual and my difficulties with sometimes not being able to physically speak, are welcome here despite what other people may say or do. It means a lot."

What I Hope to Share
I hope to contribute my own story, my successes and failures, and my learnings to the collective consciousness of ShareWell. I hope to obtain a feeling of being understood and accepted, a sense of being where I belong, and practical tips and techniques I can apply to my everyday life.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
Since I knew the value of peer support from my alcohol-abuse recovery, I went looking for support to help manage my anxiety. I found therapists holding 90-minute sessions for 6-8 people for $60-80 per session, but not true peer support. Until (thru MeetUp) I joined ShareWell. I have been delighted with my experience and now host regular anxiety support meetings.
