All meetings follow Dr. Low\u2019s RI Method that addresses the underlying cause of most symptoms. With Dr. Low\u2019s\u00a0knowledge\u00a0and\u00a0encouragement\u00a0from their peers, participants learn to spot their\u00a0angry and fearful temper\u00a0and use their\u00a0will-power\u00a0to overcome their symptoms to lead productive, healthier lives.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tAll Recovery International self-help, peer-support meetings follow these 5 parts:\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Reading<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The group reads from one of Abraham Low\u2019s books or listens to one of the recorded lectures. At some meetings participants highlight parts of the reading that were especially meaningful to them.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.recoveryinternational.org\/store\/\">Order Your Books Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Examples<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Meeting participants take turns describing an event from everyday life that caused distress. They explain how they used Recovery International tools to address their discomfort and control their responses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spotting\u00a0\u2013<\/strong> After each example, other members offer comments, referred to as \u201cspotting,\u201d that highlight the example-giver\u2019s successful use of Recovery International tools and suggest other \u201cspottings\u201d that also could have been used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mutual Aid<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is a time for informal discussion about how participants are using the Recovery International tools. It is a good time to ask the group leader or a veteran member to help develop an example to share at a later meeting, or to ask questions about specific Recovery International \u201cspottings\u201d that were discussed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voluntary Contributions<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Participants are asked at each meeting to help support the organization via voluntary contributions, with the suggested donation being $5 per meeting. If an attendee isn\u2019t able to contribute, that should not deter him or her from attending Recovery International meetings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<h3>Before attending your first meeting, please familiarize yourself with the Meeting Materials below.\u00a0If you plan on participating in\u00a0ANY\u00a0Recovery International self-help group (Community, Telephone or Online), you will need the following materials during your meetings.
