Start a LifeRing Meeting
Generally, anyone in recovery from substance addiction, who is familiar with the LifeRing philosophy and has at least six months’ continuous sobriety can be a LifeRing convenor. People may, however, become convenors earlier. Occasionally, treatment professionals with no personal recovery history start meetings, but the aim is to transition meeting convenorship to a person in recovery as soon as possible.

To start your meeting please contact the Service Center at service@lifering.org. Please include the following:

For Face-to-Face meeting, please find a meeting location in your local community, hopefully in a public venue, and then select a fixed day and time for your weekly meetings.
-
For Online Meetings, please check the Online Meeting Schedule for a day and time that does not conflict with existing meetings.

Review our How Was Your Week book. It offers a great overview of both the LifeRing organization and the role of the convenor. There’s also a free PDF version available of an older edition here.
