RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL to Learn and Practice
Details
MEETING STRUCTURE
All Recovery International peer-led Support Meetings follow these five parts.
Reading – The group reads from one of Dr. Abraham Low’s books or listens to one of the recorded lectures.
Examples – Participants take turns describing an event from everyday life that caused distress. They explain how they used Recovery International tools to address their discomfort and control their responses.
Spotting – After each example, other members offer comments, referred to as “spotting,” that highlight the example-giver’s use of Recovery International tools.
Mutual Aid – At the end of the meeting is a time for informal discussion. It is a good time to ask about specific Recovery International “spots” that were discussed.
Voluntary Contributions – Participants are asked at each meeting to help support the organization, with the suggested donation being $5 per meeting. However, no one is turned away due to inability to pay-- this should not deter anyone.
