This site is based on the beliefs and practices of 12 step communities.

We receive no financial support from any agencies, business, or organizations. Twelve step members have completely financed this site.

We believe the reason 12 step has not only survived but thrived since its inception in the late 1930’s is the lack of outside influences. Managing a 12 step oriented website we obviously need recovering members to maintain and allow it to evolve based on the needs of the users. We ask a nominal fee of $12 monthly. There is a grace period of 2 weeks that will apply to every new member.

We are completely self supporting through those who choose to participate.

We would like to see this site available in 5 years, 10 years, and beyond with members involvement. It is an undeniable fact 12 step is by far the most successful program to help people with the disease of addiction. This is not meant to be a replacement for your local community groups at all, they are essential. It is meant to be an online enhancement to recovery. We are of, by and for alcoholics, drug addicts and co-dependents.

If you’re in active alcoholism or drug addiction, you face three outcomes: insanity, incarceration, death.

Addiction is incredibly personal, and it affects us all differently. Recovery Direct Online℠ provides a forum to discuss addiction and substance abuse in a safe, anonymous, and supportive environment. Regardless of how addiction has impacted you, Recovery Direct Online℠ gives you the chance to connect with someone who can understand.
