General information

Meetings are held in the Friends' Meeting House, Frederick Street, Belfast BT1 2LW every Tuesday at 8pm. Opening statement. Welcome to this open meeting of Lifering Secular Recovery. Lifering is a self help support group for those whose ultimate goal is to live free from alcohol and other addictive drugs. We recognise that living free is the top priority in our lives and this goal is 100% abstinence. We are a peer support group. We are not counsellors and we are not providing group therapy. We gently discuss present time issues which are helping or impeding our wellness and we discuss recovery topics. Liferings approach to recovery focuses on empowering the sober self within each of us Lifering is an experience of how we behave in groups. There are necessary limitations on our sharing . We do not discuss religion or politics either local or worldwide . Offensive or challenging behaviour will not be tolerated. anyone doing so will be asked to leave. As a group we have a responsibility to provide a safe and supportive environment for our members, we address each other respectfully and will treat what is said in the meeting as confidential. Lifering does not discriminate by race, gender, sexual identity, spiritual belief or absence of spiritual belief. We aim to provide a safe supportive environment where people can explore recovery solutions that may be of use to them. This aim is paramount in our approach to wellness Our aim is to support you in developing your own program of wellness, and for you to give positive support to others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_5UdSLRXw
