Meeting in Action

At most LifeRing meetings, people sit in a circle. The meeting is small enough so that everyone can participate. After a short opening statement, the meeting convenor asks How was your week? People take turns talking about the successes and challenges of their last week in recovery and their plans for the coming week ahead. LifeRing meetings encourage questions, comments and feedback throughout. The meeting atmosphere often resembles a living room lled with sober friends having a relaxed, free conversation. Laughter is a common ingredient. Meetings are condential. What is said and who is seen stays in the room. Participation is free.

No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals. Matching treatment settings, interventions, and services to each individuals particular needs is critical to his or her ultimate success. Using this approach, LifeRing members are decidedly more motivated to return to productive functioning in the family, workplace, and society.

Power of Choice
Studies of recovery motivation consistently show that people are more likely to persist in a course of action, and to succeed in it, when they have chosen it for themselves. Therapeutic methods work better when an individual chooses it, rather than when it is imposed upon them. People are more committed to a plan that is of their own making, and which addresses their personal concerns.
