What are your thoughts on S.O.S.

Hi Folks:

I am really going to give this a gung ho try and I found this site - Secular Organisations for Sobriety, in my search for help to become sober. I like its principals and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on this approach.

Thanks

Good stuff!

Try LifeRing Secular Recovery www.unhooked.com also, same philosophy and principles, but a bit more resources available. Email lists, forums, daily online meetings, etc.

Hi Carol: I know that AA works, the only thing is with AA is that the meetings are only on Friday nights at 8:00pm and they are 30 minutes away. I live in a very small town, I plan on going this Friday night, but I need something until then. I have been unsuccessful on doing this alone and my family, which are wonderful, are unfortunately no help to me right now. This is my battle, not theirs. Thanks for listening.

Hi, goneriding,
I've had great feedback on SOS.
Lifering, which is similar to SOS, has online chat meetings available. Here's the link to their schedule:
http://www.unhooked.com/chat/index.html

SOS probably has online meetings, too, but I don't happen to have a link to their site here. I'll try to post one later.
SMART Recovery also has a schedule of online meetings:
