What
is Save Our Selves (SOS) Addiction Recovery?
This group is an alternative path from a faith based “AA” or “ALANON”
path to recovery from drugs, alcohol, or any other type of addiction.
SOS takes a self-empowered approach
to recovery. We are dedicated to providing a path to recovery alternative
to those paths dependant upon supernatural or religious following. We credit
the individual for achieving and maintaining his/her/zhe’s own recovery.
We respect all types of diversity; sexual orientation, gender identity, gender
expression, cultural background, race, religion, etc... We welcome healthy
skepticism, and encourage rational thinking as well as the expression of feelings.
We encourage the use of scientific research as a method to understanding addiction.
What
Do We Mean By Secular?
We choose to make our recovery separate from our spiritual beliefs, religion,
or supernatural following. We are not against popular 12 step programs which
work well for many people, we find that they just don’t work for us.
Who
Can Attend An SOS Meeting?
All those who sincerely seek recovery are welcome as members to any SOS meeting.
You are invited to participate or just sit and listen. We seek to promote
recovery amongst those who suffer from addictions or those who are affected
by a family member/friend who suffers from addiction. Although recovery is
an individual responsibility, you do not have to face this alone. The support
of others who suffer a similar addiction is a vital adjunct to recovery. In
SOS, members share experiences, insights, information, strength, and encouragement
in a friendly, honest, anonymous and supportive environment.
