Alcohol Support Groups at the Recovery Resource Center
What alcohol support groups are there?
Alcohol support groups can be found in most places. In Vancouver, WA, we’re lucky enough to have a Recovery Resource Center (RRC). The RRC hosts many different types of recovery and self-help meetings.

Individuals that attend will dive into the book: Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. After reading a page together, they discuss what it means to them. The book explains the 24 basic principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and their application. Additionally, the book dedicates a chapter to each step and each tradition, providing a detailed interpretation of these principles for personal recovery and the organization of the group

R360VERY (Recovery 360)
These meetings are available to anyone interested in Alcoholics Anonymous’ program of recovery from alcoholism. Non-alcoholics may attend open meetings as observers.
SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery stands for Self-Management and Recovery Training. It’s a transformative method of moving from addictive substances and negative behaviors to a life of positive self-regard and willingness to change. During the support meetings, participants design and implement their own recovery plan to create a more balanced, purposeful, fulfilling, and meaningful life.
Recovery is a personal journey and there is no perfect solution for everyone. While recovery meetings help many, it may not fit some and that is completely ok. Others find help and solace in their religious and spiritual beliefs while some choose to walk on a path with their self.
There may also be a time individuals need the guidance of a professional substance use or mental health facility. That is where Lifeline Connections can help.
