Our Discord provides space for meetings held by recovery groups, including the New Way to Live NA Group. Between meetings, members connect in 24/7 chat channels. Whether you're just starting out or have years of recovery, you're welcome here.

Stories of Recovery

Hear from members of our community about their experience in Recovery Underground.

"Recovery Underground genuinely saved me and my recovery. Without the community of people that foster love, support, and wisdom, I would still be trying to do it alone. The NA meetings I attend and chair in RU's respective NA fellowship, New Way To Live, have been what's stabilized my recovery. Now, with more clean time I've ever had in my entire life, I can use what I've learned from Recovery Underground and the people associated to spread the message of recovery to others who needed it as badly as I did when I first joined."
— Eris Community Member & Meeting Chair
"Recovery Underground has been a family I didn't know I needed. I'm not an addict myself; I'm the loved one of an addict, and they still accepted me with open arms. It's been almost a year since I joined, and I'll always cherish the friendships I've made there, especially with Ian and Rizzo. RU changed how I see people struggling with addiction. Since joining, I don't hold grudges or judgment toward them anymore, and the people there have given me a whole new perspective. They're the reason I can still find peace in my everyday life."
