The Secular Support Path

Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS)

Mutual-aid network · Secular, self-empowerment · Online & in person

A non-religious, self-empowerment recovery network with chapters across the country, built around discussion rather than doctrine.

Overview

SOS, also called Save Our Selves, offers a sober room that doesn't require signing on to any belief system about why you're there or what will save you.

How the approach works

Peer discussion and shared lived experience, without steps or spiritual framing.

Who might find it useful

People who want secular, agency-centered support similar to LifeRing.

What to expect

Its national website is frequently offline, so the most reliable way to find a meeting is to search “Secular Organizations for Sobriety” with your city or region, or ask a local recovery center.

This is an approach rather than a single organization. Ask a provider, or search for options near you.

Listing details are pending final review.
