All Recovery meetings follow the Recovery 4-Step Method that addresses the underlying cause of most symptoms. Through the structured meeting and encouragement from their peers, participants learn to “spot" their angry and fearful temper and use their will-power to replace insecure thoughts with Recovery tools to help drop the judgment of yourself and others and help manage your symptoms.

Muscle Movement

"It is easily accepted that the mind governs muscles. But that muscles can be made to mold and influence mental activity sounds incredible to the skeptic and laughable to the cynic. Yet, Recovery participants know that if a nervous ailment causes central management (the brain) to break down, the peripheral rank and file (the muscles) can be trained to 'take over.'"
