Why Verification Matters

Meeting verification isn't about someone "checking up" on you; it's a testament to your proactive steps in recovery. HeImage of LifeRing Meetings Attendance Verification Request form re's why it's so valuable:

  • For Your Journey: It provides a tangible record of your dedication, reinforcing your progress and helping you stay on track with your personal recovery goals.
  • For Medical Teams: If you're undergoing medical evaluations, such as for a transplant, showing consistent engagement in recovery through verified meeting attendance demonstrates stability and commitment, which can be crucial for your care plan.
  • For Legal Requirements: If a court has mandated meeting attendance, verification is the straightforward way to prove your compliance, helping you navigate legal obligations smoothly.
  • For Loved Ones: It can offer reassurance to your support system, showing them you're actively engaged in maintaining your well-being.

Remember, always clarify the specific verification requirements with the requesting party (whether it's your medical team, the court, or a treatment program). This ensures you're using the correct method and attending meetings that meet their approval.
