Refuge Recovery · UK
Search AA, NA and other UK recovery meetings by postcode, town, or fellowship, in person or online. No sign-up. No tracking of who you are. Just the door, the time, and how to get there.
Refuge Recovery holds free meetings built on Buddhist practice: meditation, the four truths and the eightfold path, applied to recovery from addiction of every kind. You do not need to be a Buddhist, and no belief in a higher power is asked of you.
A meeting typically opens with a guided meditation, followed by a reading and sharing. Beginners are expected and welcomed. The meetings you can join from the UK run online through the week across time zones.
Refuge Recovery shares its Buddhist recovery roots with Recovery Dharma, a separate community with similar practices; if a meeting time suits you, it is worth sitting in on either. Both sit comfortably alongside twelve-step fellowships.
