* ''Man-Eating Cow'' has superhero The Crime Cannibal — the guy just happened to win a messed up prize in [[Superpower Lottery]], so after using it for a while he has been "going to this support group", because while gangsters may have deserved it, eating them is wrong and embarrassing.

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' has a group for sharks who want to give up eating fish.

* ''[[Wreck-It Ralph]]'' features "Bad-Anon", a group for videogame villains who feel depressed / shoehorned / etc because of their roles. Besides the title character, there's Bowser, Robotnik, a zombie, Zangief, M. Bison, a Pac-Man ghost...

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* The narrator of ''[[Fight Club (novel)|Fight Club]]'' visited all sorts of support groups for problems he didn't have, as did Marla.

* The protagonist of ''Choke'' is a sex addict who routinely picks up women at his Sexaholics Anonymous meetings.
