"The (addicted) woman is attacked not only for her failure at motherhood, but for her abandonment of more general nurturing and caretaking functions that are at the core of the female role. 'Good' women are primarily concerned with the needs and welfare of others... and when women are no longer willing or able to serve.... - even for reasons beyond (their) control -- the response is usually not support or sympathy...."

LSR Life Ring
The  website of our splinter movement, Lifering Secular Recovery. 
Still has some good material, even though it likes to give the impression that all SOS 
groups now call themselves LSR and that there is some sort of endless litigation 
going on.  It's possible get misinformation about SOS on this web site.

People do recover, every single day.

They rarely do it alone. If help is what you seek, we hope you'll find it here.

It is the philosophy of this author that any and all recovery programs that help you to maintain abstinence from alcohol and other substances of abuse are legitimate.  In fact, modern research (e.g. Project MATCH ) has found that no form of addiction treatment is superior to any other.  In this spirit, Recovery Net intends to take an eclectic approach to the treatment of addictions.  For this, it coins the name ECLECTIC RECOVERY (ER).  Good luck in your quest to enjoy the benefits, freedoms, and comforts of a life in recovery.  R2  (anonymous author of Recovery Net).

My name is Molly, and I am an alcoholic and an addict, in recovery since August 3rd, 1995. Oftentimes, I found I could not, for whatever reason, get “out” to a meeting, therapy, or to find resources. I’ve found the Internet to be a wonderful tool! High Sobriety is a place to turn to for anyone who is or has been affected by the devastation of addiction. While I firmly believe in AA and it’s concepts and traditions, I know Alcoholics Anonymous is not for everyone, each person being unique.
