LifeRing is a self-directed approach for people looking to recover from addiction to alcohol and/or drugs, or who are in relationships where chemical dependancy is a problem.

LifeRing welcomes everyone without distinctions based on “drug of choice”.

LifeRing includes people of all religious faiths and none. Meetings are free of religious observances.

LifeRing supports individuals building their own recovery programs, and requires no particular steps other than abstinence from alcohol and drugs.

LifeRing meetings are conducted by peer volunteers called convenors.

LifeRing meetings are autonomous. A basket may be passed for voluntary contributions but there is no charge for participation.
