recovery meeting
Addiction support circle
A recovery meeting is a gathering where people working to overcome addiction share experiences and support each other's sobriety.
The term most often refers to twelve-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous: I have a recovery meeting every Tuesday night.
Meetings follow established formats—readings, personal sharing, sometimes a speaker—and provide accountability and community for people in recovery.
