I'm pretty sure they won't abandon you. My group has been there for me the two years I've been going (SMART). They are as invested in my success as I am and they are only judgemental when they think I might be in danger. Where else can you go that when you walk into a room everyone understands you? When I've relapsed, they have always been there to help me pick up the pieces, as I do w/them. We learn from the slips.
I find that when someone new comes into the group, I want to help them as the group did when I joined. (That said,you still have to keep your guard up a little and protect yourself too. You never know who you're going to meet! or whether or not they're genuine)
