All Recovery Support Meetings are non-denominational based on the philosophy that people from every type of addiction have much in common and can benefit from sharing together. These meetings offer a place where people can share their addiction recovery experiences and how recovery has changed their life. Meetings are facilitated by Certified Peer Support Specialists, also known as “Recovery Coaches “all of whom are people in long-term recovery (minimum, 2 years).

All Recovery Support meetings are open to everyone, regardless of the uniqueness of their pattern or patterns of addiction. All pathways of recovery are welcome, including individuals using any medication assisted treatment. It is a way for people in all types of recovery to come together and learn from each other.

Meeting structure:
We start by reading from a meditation book and discuss how the topic read has been part of our recovery experience. This meeting will offer a speaker to share their experience, strength and hope on the 1st Friday of each month.
