Each person is the leader in his or her own sobriety. Each Group as each person is separate yet a SOS has no central apparatus, hierarchical structures of authoritarian leaderships. 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. In SOS Meetings we build a safe environment where there is NO Criticism of each others choices of recovery. I know that in a recovery group there will be people with differing views on religion. There will be people with different views on politics.
