Akron LifeRing

LifeRing Secular Recovery believes that there are as many ways to live free of drugs and alcohol as there are stories of successful sober people. LifeRing promotes the idea that the individual has power to overcome problematic substance-use through a self-directed process of designing their own recovery program. Our meetings provide safe, supportive and nonjudgmental interactions with others going through recovery to enhance the individual self-directed program.

In our meetings we share, listen, and encourage. We focus on the challenges and successes of the past week and plans for tackling the next week. Through Sober-Self to Sober-Self dialog, we learn and gain strength from each other. LifeRing meetings emphasize the positive, practical present-day to strengthen hope and resolve. LifeRing respectfully embraces what works for each individual. We treat everyone with respect and we value all paths to sobriety.
