Some of our members are also active in local 12-step groups. We are in favor of anything that helps people maintain their sobriety. We certainly don't discourage our members from attending other groups. No, but that is a common myth or misconception. No single group or method has a monopoly on sobriety.
People recover through a variety of different ways.
Some people benefit from attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. However, research and experience have shown that many others recover with the help of SOS or another support group. Some people even quit drinking or using drugs on their own, or with the support of family and friends. Our meetings are open to anyone whose life is affected by substance abuse, even if the effect is indirect. Family members, friends, co-workers, etc. are always welcome to attend SOS meetings.
