Welcome to LifeRing Recovery: a place to empower your sober self.

You have come to an alternative public forum for self-help recovery from alcoholism and other chemical dependency.

Our philosophy in three words: Sobriety, Secularity, Self-Help.

We offer information and group support for abstaining from alcohol and "drugs." This is an abstinence forum; look elsewhere for moderation, substitution, or control advice.

This is a secular place: feel free to bring your experience, strength and hope, as well as your questions, fears and concerns. Please leave your Steps, Higher Powers, praying, preaching, and proselytizing at the door.

This is a self-help recovery workshop. We share tools and support, but only YOU can build the recovery program that keeps YOU sober. Look elsewhere for magic formulas, guaranteed cures, and instant fixes.

If you are experiencing an emergency now, go to a telephone and dial 9-1-1 or call your local crisis line.
