Messies Anonymous encourages the setting up of local Twelve Step support groups. Nothing takes the place of face-to-face meetings in areas where this is possible.

Start-up information and a Support Group CD are available at no cost from Messies Anonymous world headquarters at 5025 SW 114 Avenue, Miami, FL 33165. You may also request your kit using the contact page at http://www.messies.com/contact

ON-LINE SUPPORT GROUPS are available on http://www.messies.com/support_groups as well. Join one of those until you locate a face-to-face group in your area. Who knows? You may meet people from your locale in these groups, get-together and start your own autonomous face-to-face meeting!

A book, Hope for the Hopeless Messies ($20.00), is designed to supply material to work the steps alone or in the meetings. It is also available at http://www.messies.com/products/books

This group is to be used ONLY to announce the time, place, and contact person of CURRENTLY EXISTING self help groups. Please name the city in the subject area for easy access.
