General Information About LifeRing Meetings
If your experience is typical, some of your clients benefit from the 12-step approach, and some do not. That's only to be expected. As a professional, you already know that 12-step recovery was never intended for everyone.
There are as many different ways to get clean and sober as there are alcoholics and addicts. There is no magic formula that works for everyone at all times. All the different "Programs" contain some useful ideas. No one approach has a "lock" on recovery. Every method produces some success stories. Every method produces some relapses.
"Three-S" is short-hand for the fundamental principles of LifeRing Recovery: Sobriety, Secularity, and Self-Help.
Many of the earliest members of LifeRing were members of Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS). Since 1999, many former SOS meetings and individuals across the country and in some other countries have affiliated with LifeRing Secular Recovery, and LifeRing has gradually emerged during the year 2000 as an independent organization.
