** We follow the mission of SOS in abstinance for the alcoholic/addict and secular in nature (non-religious).

** Family and friends may not be addicted themselves but their lives are greatly affected by the addictive behavior of a loved one and they too need support, advice and the opportunity to share and learn. SOS can offer support from people who have been on both sides; the experience of recovering addicts and from others who have had to deal with the problems related to active addiction and the recovery process.

** This group primarily focuses on issues with friends and families of the addicted and there are other groups for support specifically for those WITH the addiction issue. Please contact the listowner for more details on these other groups as well as other information.
