On Tuesday August 5th — LifeRing Goes Live!!

Mark your calendars and fire up your browsers, because we've got some incredibly exciting news to share! Here at LifeRing Secular Recovery, we're always striving to empower individuals on their journey to sobriety, and we are absolutely thrilled to announce a trio of momentous advancements that are going to revolutionize how we connect, share, and support each other!

We've been working tirelessly behind the scenes, and the moment has finally arrived: on August 5th, we're officially launching our brand-new, completely redesigned LifeRing Secular Recovery website! But that's not all – brace yourselves for the unveiling of our new meetings calendar and automated verification process!

A Fresh Look and Enhanced Experience: Welcome to the New LifeRing Website!

First things first, prepare to be amazed by the all-new LifeRing Secular Recovery website, going live on August 5th!  Our design team is made up of LifeRing Community volunteers who know what worked and didn't work on our previous website. We applied that experience to create a more intuitive, engaging, and resourceful online hub for our entire community.

What can you expect? A sleek, modern design that's easier to navigate, making it a breeze to find the information you need, whether you're a newcomer exploring recovery options or a seasoned LifeRing member looking for resources. We've optimized it for all devices, so you can connect with LifeRing wherever you are, whenever you need it. Get ready for an enhanced user experience that truly reflects the vibrant and supportive spirit of LifeRing!

Never Miss a Meeting Again with Our New Meeting Management System!

Finding the right meeting at the right time just got a whole lot simpler! We're incredibly happy to introduce you to our brand new external meeting management system hosted by Pathminder, the leading recovery meeting management platform.  Say goodbye to timezone challenges and say hello to effortless planning!

This calendaring system is designed with you in mind. Its intuitive interface allows you to quickly search for meetings by location, time, and type, making it easier than ever to find the perfect meeting to fit your schedule and needs. This powerful tool is seamlessly integrated to help ensure that connection and support are always just a few clicks away. We truly believe this new calendaring system will be a positive game-changer for our members, promoting even greater participation and engagement within our incredible community!

Streamlined Verification and Peace of Mind

Meeting verification isn't about someone "checking up" on you; it's a testament to your proactive steps in recovery. Understanding how meeting verifications work can make the process smooth and stress-free.

For those attending LifeRing public online meetings, Pathminder offers an automated attendance verification process that's incredibly efficient. This means you can get proof of your meeting attendance—and share it with anyone you choose—within minutes, eliminating the wait times often associated with manual approvals. It's a modern approach that brings immediate peace of mind and simplifies your recovery journey. Check out the new Attendance Verification 101 overview for details and links to support.

For those attending LifeRing local (in-person and local online) meetings, verifications are typically provided by the the meeting convenor. This allows you to easily document your attendance for personal accountability, or to fulfill requirements from courts, medical teams, or other requesting parties. Simply ask the convenor at the end of the meeting about their process for providing verifications.

Tripletastic!!

This is more than just a website launch and new tools; it's a manifestation of LifeRing's unwavering commitment to providing the best possible support for recovery. We are incredibly excited about these advancements and the positive impact this will have on our community. These developments mark a significant evolution in how we serve our members.

Our new website is made possible by the generosity of the Comeau Family Foundation.

Thank you Katie, John, Emily, and Libby — and everyone who supports the LifeRing mission!

Mark your calendars for August 5th!

Get ready to experience the future of secular recovery with us! Let's continue to build strong, supportive connections and celebrate every step of the recovery journey together!
