Agnostic, Humanist, and Atheist Codependency Support Group
A secular, peer-led support community for people unlearning codependent patterns — without religion, spirituality, or dogma
What is AHA?
AHA is a support group for people recovering from codependency who want a fully secular alternative to traditional 12-step programs. We welcome agnostic, humanist, atheist, and non-religious participants seeking practical, grounded recovery based on shared experience — not belief.
This group is for people who:
- Feel responsible for other people’s emotions or well-being
- Struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or self-abandonment
- Grew up in emotionally unsafe or dysfunctional environments
- Want recovery without higher power language or spiritual beliefs
This group is not:
- A religious or spiritual program
- Group therapy or professional counseling
- A place for advice-giving, fixing, or rescuing
- Anti-religious — we are non-religious
What makes AHA different?
Fully Secular
No prayers, no higher power language, no spiritual framing.
Practical and Grounded
Focused on behaviors, boundaries, and self-responsibility
Peer-Led Support
Shared experience, not hierarchy or authority
