I think there's a culture in Life Ring and there's of openness. I think it's very relaxed. It's positive. And Life Ring, I think, is rooted in this non-judgment, positive, encouraging dynamic within meetings.
Imagine moving to a new country and realizing there's no support group for your recovery path. That's exactly what happened to Michael when he relocated from Ireland to Scotland. In this episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams', host Denise sits down with Michael, a dedicated member and board member of Life Ring UK. Michael shares his inspiring story of founding Life Ring in Scotland during the pandemic, a secular recovery program that champions sobriety, secularity, and self-help.
Michael dives into the core principles of Life Ring, known as the 3 S's: Sobriety, Secularity, and Self-Help. Unlike many other recovery programs, Life Ring doesn't hold opinions on religion or higher powers. Instead, it fosters a non-judgmental environment where cross-talk and peer support are encouraged. Michael passionately talks about the importance of developing a strong recovery plan tailored to individual needs and how self-empowerment is at the heart of Life Ring's philosophy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about alternative recovery paths or looking for a community that values inclusivity and openness. Michael's journey from discovering Life Ring in Ireland to establishing it in Scotland is not just a testament to his resilience but also a beacon of hope for others seeking a secular approach to recovery.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for years, Michael's story and insights offer valuable perspectives on building a supportive and empowering recovery community.
