Part of the World Wide Family of Save Our Selves

Each person is the leader
in his or her own sobriety. Each Group, as each person, is separate yet a part of SOS.

Each individual is a leader in his or her own sobriety. Our philosophy is that each individual is unique and should therefore find and fashion their own road to sober living and a full life. We have no interest in members private beliefs or lifestyles. All groups are independent and work together as a voluntary association of free-thought groups.

Our mission is recovery.
This is an abstinence Group. There is no hidden agenda

SOS - Save Our Selves
offers an Alternative Self-Empowering approach to sobriety In SOS Meetings we build a safe environment where there is NO Criticism of each others choices of recovery.

As in life, in recovery, there will be differing views on religion and spirituality. We welcome all at SOS, religious and non-religious, alike

There will be people with different views on politics. To keep our focuses on recovery and keep our religious and political views intact, free from criticism or to have members trying to convert us to their religion, or politics. It is in the best interest of the group and each of us that our religious or non religious beliefs be expressed with like minded people outside of meetings.

SOS or Save Our Selves, is a self-empowerment approach to sobriety. We believe it is each individual’s personal choice to use or not to use. We choose not to use, and not to drink, no matter what situations or circumstances arise. We hold all things to be separate from our sobriety. It is not dependent upon any outside influences, or a higher power, but simply put, a decision, to change our thoughts, change our habits and change our lives.

WE ARE NOT POWERLESS. It is within each of us to make the decision not to use, by means of rational and reasonable thought processes. We welcome all people regardless of spiritual or non-spiritual beliefs. We support each other in offering new ideas, and are open to free thought and healthy skepticism. Ours is a SOBRIETY GROUP and as such that is our MAIN PRIORITY.
