The simple expressions and slogans, which comprise the Recovery language, are easy to learn and help members to maintain a sense of security and calmness in their everyday lives. All of our meetings use the same terms and format, which makes it easier to attend any of Recovery s many group meetings. The leader will help you as you give your first example about something that upsets you. You will also learn by listening to others as they give their examples. It is quite normal to be nervous about participating.
People give more or less depending on their financial situation.
If you aren t able to give anything, that s okay. If more than one meeting is available, you are welcome to attend as many as you like. Each group meets at the same time and place each week. Meetings are held in public buildings and last for approximately two hours. At the weekly meetings, you may ask the group leader or other experienced members for their phone numbers.
