Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

RECOVERY INTERNATIONAL
Virtual Meeting Directory – Search Meetings By Day
7 Days A Week
Recovery International (RI) is a self-help mental health program that offers you a proven method to build and maintain your emotional health using cognitive behavioral tools.
To gain inner peace, you learn how to change the way you respond to people and everyday stressful situations. Additionally, you learn how to identify and manage negative or insecure thoughts and impulses that can lead to emotional distress and symptoms. These simple expressions and tools, called “spots” (page 3), are part of the Recovery Method.
We offer peer-led group meetings via phone, Zoom, chat and in-person. We encourage you to review this Newcomer Packet before attending your first meeting. We even have special meetings just for newcomers to learn RI concepts and the 4-Step Method. We hope you will consider joining us! Please find out more at RecoveryInternational.org/newcomers.
You can also phone our office at 312-337-5661 for more information or for help signing up

How to Find a Meeting
Recovery International meetings are held all over the country by Chat, Phone, Zoom, and Community (in-person). This page lists chat, phone and Zoom meetings in Eastern time by day or scroll down for in-person meetings only. You will have to adjust these times to the time zone you reside in.

Meeting Structure
All Recovery International peer-led Support Meetings follow these five parts.
- Reading – The group reads from one of Dr. Abraham Low’s books or listens to one of the recorded lectures.
- Examples – 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.
- Spotting – After each example, other members offer comments, referred to as “spotting,” that highlight the example-giver’s use of Recovery International tools.
- Mutual Aid – At the end of the meeting is a time for informal discussion. It is a good time to ask about specific Recovery International “spots” that were discussed.
- Voluntary Contributions – Participants are asked at each meeting to help support the organization, with the suggested donation being $5 per meeting. However, no one is turned away due to inability to pay– this should not deter anyone from attending.
Recovery International will be the world’s premier provider of self-help training for mental health and wellness available to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Meeting Structure
All Recovery International peer-led Support Meetings follow these five parts.
- Reading – The group reads from one of Dr. Abraham Low’s books or listens to one of the recorded lectures.
- Examples – 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.
- Spotting – After each example, other members offer comments, referred to as “spotting,” that highlight the example-giver’s use of Recovery International tools.
- Mutual Aid – At the end of the meeting is a time for informal discussion. It is a good time to ask about specific Recovery International “spots” that were discussed.
- Voluntary Contributions – Participants are asked at each meeting to help support the organization, with the suggested donation being $5 per meeting. However, no one is turned away due to inability to pay– this should not deter anyone from attending.
Recovery International will be the world’s premier provider of self-help training for mental health and wellness available to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
