LifeRing Secular Recovery
LifeRing Secular Recovery is a non-profit organization that provides support for individuals seeking to recover from substance abuse and addiction. Founded in 1999, LifeRing offers a secular and non-religious approach to recovery, focusing on personal empowerment and self-reliance.
History[edit | edit source]
LifeRing Secular Recovery was established in 1999 by Martin Nicolaus, a former member of Alcoholics Anonymous who sought to create an alternative support network for individuals in recovery. The organization has since grown to include meetings and resources in various locations around the world.
Approach[edit | edit source]
LifeRing Secular Recovery emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and self-empowerment in the recovery process. Members are encouraged to develop their own strategies for maintaining sobriety and improving their overall well-being. The organization promotes a non-judgmental and inclusive environment for individuals of all backgrounds.
Meetings[edit | edit source]
LifeRing Secular Recovery offers in-person and online meetings where individuals can connect with others in recovery, share their experiences, and receive support. Meetings typically follow a structured format that includes check-ins, discussions, and goal-setting activities.
Resources[edit | edit source]
In addition to meetings, LifeRing Secular Recovery provides a variety of resources to support individuals in their recovery journey. These resources may include literature, online forums, and tools for developing coping skills and resilience.
Criticism[edit | edit source]
While LifeRing Secular Recovery has garnered support from individuals who prefer a secular approach to recovery, it has also faced criticism from some traditional recovery organizations. Critics argue that the organization's emphasis on self-reliance may not be suitable for all individuals in recovery.
