SOS takes the approach that sobriety is a separate issue from religion or spirituality. SOS is not a spin-off of any religious group. There is no hidden agenda, as SOS is concerned with sobriety, not religiosity. SOS seeks only to promote sobriety amongst those who suffer from alcoholism or other drug addictions. SOS is not against 12 Step Programs .
SOS respects recovery in any form regardless of the path by which it is achieved.
It is not in competition with any other recovery programs but exists as an alternative for those who find themselves uncomfortable with 12 Step approaches. As a group, SOS has no opinion on outside matters and does not wish to become entangled in outside controversy. Although sobriety is an individual responsibility, life does not have to be faced alone. The support of other alcoholics and addicts is a vital adjunct to recovery. In SOS, members share experiences, insights, information, strength, and encouragement in friendly, honest, anonymous, and supportive group meetings.
