PON, Alanon suggests 6 sessions because each session may be different and you may not like one or more and by suggesting six, it gives you more of a "flavor" as to what they are about.
Magic, Most support groups do not offer up suggestions to its members. They are there to lend support and listen to what you have to say about and your. The same would apply to Alanon as well. I have cut a paragraph out of the information about Alanon that you can see your co-dependency group isn't any different from other support groups as to way they support others.
"Members don’t give counsel to one another during meetings. There shouldn’t be any cross-talk during discussions. In other words, only talk about yourself and don’t comment on or advise other members. Members learn how to solve their common problems by listening to what has worked for others. This doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily agree with everything you hear. Al-Anon suggests you take what you like from a meeting, and leave the rest behind."
As you can see from this paragraph, you have to be the one to actually work on yourself and while you are in the meetings, you can pick up tips from listening to others as to what may or may not help you w/your self improvements and your situation. The key word here is "listening".
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
