Empower Your Sober Self

Looking for a secular, judgment-free place to stay sober? LifeRing Akron offers a warm space where people support each other right here in Summit County. Our meetings are free to attend (we pass a basket for optional donations) and centered on helping you build the recovery path that works for you.

Our Akron Area Meetings

At the heart of LifeRing Akron are three core principles: Sobriety, Secularity, and Self-Empowerment. Our meetings are all about connection—a safe space to talk honestly about how your week is going, explore meaningful topics together, and support each other as we figure out what works best for us as individuals.
