Best answer:

Answer by Answer Fairy
Depends on how nit-picky you want to be.

alcoholics
narcotics
over-eaters
sexaholic
codependency
al-anon

that’s all I can think of right now….. but then you have meetings where only women are allowed, only men are allowed, closed meetings where only alcoholics are allowed. Then you have “double winner” meetings for people who are say, alcoholics and al-anons, or perhaps they are in NA but they also over eat… There’s lots of permutations of each group….
