We’ve created a locator tool that you can use to find your nearest support group
or recovery chapter (e.g. AA or NA). To use the tool, simply enter a zip code
into the search bar and choose a support group (e.g. AA). Information for groups
closest to that area will be displayed - if no local resources are available,
the nearest available resources, e.g. state/national, will be shown instead.
Looking for a different group? There are additional resources that you can
connect with, including a Facebook group owned and moderated by the Voices
Project. You are not alone.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ATTEND YOUR FIRST MEETING

Many people attend recovery meetings as a way to support their recovery
journeys. Often, people have some nervous feelings about their first few
recovery meetings. Just being willing to show up is a win! Virtual meetings may
ease those initial stressful feelings, since you have the option to leave your
camera off, which means other people can’t see your face. You can also choose
your user name: most people use their first name and location. The way you
introduce yourself is based on your comfort level. If you would rather not share
anything about yourself, you can put “just listening” in your user name.

When you enter the group, the moderator or another group member will probably
greet you by name. This is to make you feel at home. Often, people show up a few
minutes early to socialize, check in, and say hello. Although it may seem like
the other people in the group already know each other, that’s not necessarily
true. The recovery community is supportive and friendly, even with strangers.
You may choose to say hello in the chat box or just keep quiet. If you’re
invited to take part, feel free to say no: including new people is how many
groups try to make them feel like they’re wanted and welcome.

Each group has a different format, but usually there is a greeting, some reading
or a short talk by a person in recovery, and time for sharing. Some groups use
prayer; others might try a meditation from a particular spiritual book. There
are hundreds of recovery communities and thousands of groups to choose from. If
you don’t feel welcome in one, keep looking. Many organizations offer
directories of their meetings with specific types of groups, such as:

 * LGBTQ and trans-specific meetings
 * Latinx groups, Indigenous groups, and groups in languages other than English
 * Black meetings
 * Gender-specific meetings for people who identify as men or women
 * Military/veteran specific meetings
 * Meetings that use a particular faith tradition or tool, such as “recovering
   Catholics”
 * Speaker meetings, which do not include time for open sharing

Recovery meetings tend to focus on health, wellness, and self care. Group
participants usually don’t speak directly to each other, make suggestions, talk
politics, or tell each other what to do. The point is to be together, listen,
and support one another. After the meeting, the moderator may leave the chat
room open for additional socializing. Some members trade contact information.
Use your best judgment and be smart about giving out your phone number or email.
The same guidelines of “meeting at a party” apply here, too. If you don’t like
one meeting, or another group member sounds abrasive or unpleasant, you don’t
have to go back! Just move on to the next one until you find a group that
resonates with you.

Your recovery is as unique as you are. Try every tool until you discover what
works best for you. Whether you find peace of mind on the yoga mat, in a virtual
meeting, or helping others, you are sure to discover a recovery community that
honors and supports you on this path.

ANYONE CAN SUPPORT THE RECOVERY MOVEMENT


WITH YOUR WORDS

The leaders of the modern recovery movement ask us all to be thoughtful with the
words we use around addiction and recovery. Some common terms, even those
historically used by those in recovery, can reinforce stigma and even discourage
people struggling with addiction from seeking treatment. Here are some that
label people or inadvertently pass judgment, with advice on how to replace them
with objective descriptions of symptoms or behaviors.

Old Term Replace with Addict/Alcoholic/Junkie a person with, or suffering from,
addiction or substance use disorder. Lapse/Relapse/Slip neutral terms such as
“resumed,” or experienced a “recurrence” of symptoms. Clean terms like “in
remission or recovery” Dirty a person having positive test results or exhibiting
symptoms of substance use disorder

Old Term Addict/Alcoholic/Junkie
Replace with a person with, or suffering from, addiction or substance
use disorder.
Old Term Lapse/Relapse/Slip
Replace with neutral terms such as “resumed,” or experienced a “recurrence”
of symptoms.
Old Term Clean
Replace with terms like “in remission or recovery”
Old Term Dirty
Replace with a person having positive test results or exhibiting symptoms of
substance use disorder

WITH YOUR TIME

Sign up to support Mobilize Recovery Day of Service on Saturday, October 28,
2023.

Young People in Recovery has drafted a blueprint on how to provide support for
those in or seeking recovery at a local level. It identifies eight facets to
making communities recovery ready and in each section, we highlight a small
fraction of the many organizations working toward that aspect.
