Good for you for going back out there and trying this new group.
I am very affected by my environment, so I can relate to your feelings about the location. But, how did you like the people in the group? Was there anything about it you did like? When I first went to see my new therapist I did not like her office. My old therapist was in a nice clean, comfortable home and this new one was in a run-down part of town, in a cramped and worn out office. But after going back a few times it grew on me. Maybe you might want to investigate by going once or twice more?
