SOS is an alternative recovery method for those alcoholics or drug addicts who are uncomfortable with the spiritual content of widely available 12-Step programs. SOS takes a reasonable, secular approach to recovery and maintains that sobriety is a separate issue from religion or spirituality.
SOS respects recovery in any form regardless of the path by which it is achieved.
It is not opposed to or in competition with any other recovery programs. SOS supports healthy skepticism and encourages the use of the scientific method to understand alcoholism. There are groups meeting in many cities throughout the country. All those who sincerely seek sobriety are welcome as members in any SOS Group. SOS is not a spin-off of any religious group.
