Life Recovery Online

Pre-screening required / Mixed Group
Central Time Zone

In Life Recovery you’ll find friends to connect with, strength to help you face some of your most difficult struggles, practical steps for real change, and a much, much deeper relationship with God. Life Recovery is a safe place for people to find healing and freedom from addictions not limited to drugs and alcohol. We can be, and are, addicted to any number of things in life: food, gambling, sex, pornography, shopping, over-dependence on people, love of “stuff,” feelings of depression, fear, or anxiety . . . the list goes on. Addictions are very simply the things, relationships, or coping strategies we turn to for relief from life’s pain and brokenness. And while pleasurable for a short time, they do not satisfy or save.

At each gathering, we sing, have a lesson, recite the Twelve Steps and Serenity Prayer, and divide into gender-specific small groups for discussion. Our group is a loving and committed group of friends who want to support you! Find out more information at:
