I love my support group but it's more of a generic support group for people with various mental challenges, e.g. anxiety, bipolar, depression. We do start the night by saying our name and then we go over how we did that week. The last hour is for the person that had the worst week where we ask questions in order to help them.

I think many of the these groups have their foundation in alcoholics anonymous. e.g. my name is John and I'm an alcoholic. I agree saying your label is a bit strange.
