Asking for a friend: How can an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse meet other survivors who have ended up happy and successful in spite of their childhoods?

Asking for a friend who wants to remain very anonymous:
I'm looking for support for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse. I'm on medication that helps and I've been in therapy for two years, but I'd really like to meet women (ideally gay women) who have ended up happy and successful despite years of abuse and neglect. I think I'm finally on my way to health and happiness, but I want to meet these people so I can start to believe that I too can be happy and successful. Are there any organizations or resources that CSA survivors can use to connect with each other? I wouldn't be comfortable in a group setting, so any sort of group therapy wouldn't work for me. I live in the research triangle area of North Carolina if it matters.
Thanks meta-filter. If you have any questions for my anonymous friend, I'll try to post answers on the board.
