You have to tackle all of your difficulties and you can do that at any meeting for any of those. Choose the difficulty that you have most… like eating and go to a meeting for that problem. Group leaders want to support you with all of your problems

My recommendation: at least one meeting every two weeks of every TSRF that applies to your situation, and whichever addiction is bugging you most at a given time would be the one for which you’d increase the number of meetings
It sounds like you just have an addictive personality, and the best thing might be to see a regular counselor for some guidance on good next steps. You are self-medicating for what sounds like a depression, and that’s something a twelve step group isn’t equipped to help you with — they will refer you to a counselor as well.
Go to all the meetings that deal with the issues you have. You can’t just go for the sex and forget the prescription drugs and alcohol.
If you have a problem going to the meetings the way to start is going to meetings on line ” In the Rooms.Com” , great beginning- try it out you will get a lot of help from the people online
