Each of us have the right to paint a picture of our self as we choose. The purpose of the group is to live life clean and sober. The purpose is not to chant in unison, as we are each unique. SOS has no central apparatus, hierarchical structures or authoritarian leaderships. Each individual is a leader in his or her own sobriety .
All groups are independent and work together as a voluntary association of free- thought groups.
There is no hidden agenda . I am free to use other support groups. There is no one way. My using other support groups will not in any way affect my standing in SOS . I am the Captain of My Ship -I am sailing into my new life.
