By participating in these support groups, individuals can build a network of understanding peers who can provide encouragement and guidance throughout their recovery process.

ASGA aims to assist individuals in identifying and adopting healthier coping mechanisms, such as mindfulness practices, exercise, creative outlets, or engaging in positive social activities.

Overall, ASGA strives to create a supportive environment where individuals in recovery and active addiction can find the tools, resources, and connections necessary to break free from the chains of addiction. Through empowerment, peer support, and the development of healthy coping mechanisms, ASGA aims to guide individuals towards a brighter and more fulfilling future. The groups were launched on February 14, 2022. 127 face to face peer to peer groups were held in five different locations across South Australia including Adelaide, Para Hills, Kadina, Point Pearce, and Coober Pedy.
