Hi, For addiction support I attend AA regularly. I really like it, and find it helpful.

There's also Women for Sobriety (WFS) I like their program a lot, but they only have 1 IRL meeting a week in Toronto. They're nowhere near as big as AA and don't have as many meetings, but they have an awesome website with live chats. I don't tend to go to the meeting as it's a bit hard for me to get to, but I'm on their site every day.

In Canada we have the Canadian Mental Health Agency (CMHA) which in some area's puts on groups.

Here in Ontario, there's also the Mood Dissorders Association of Ontario (MDAO) The run a lot of groups around depression and Bi-polar.

In Toronto, there's also a volunteer, peer run Social Phobia Support Group that meets once a month. I've never been to it though, but may try it, once I'm done with my move.

There's also again a peer run support group for people with Borderline Personality Disorder. I've never been to it either, I just learned about it through the DBT program that I did.
