Pagans in Recovery

Pagans in Recovery is a 12-Step / 12-Tradition fellowship based on the example pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous.

We seek no controversy or conflict. Our purpose is to create a place—even within the recovery community—for those whose spirituality may include polytheistic worship and/or magical practices.

We are not directly allied with any sect or denomination, though we recognize a shared view of many deities and spirits which, as we see it, are integral to our recovery and continued sobriety.

Pagans in Recovery is not specific to any one Twelve-Step program and is not designed to compete with or replace any. Rather, it is available to anyone who needs it and can be used in conjunction with whichever Twelve-Step program or programs an individual is involved in.

Because of this, Pagans in Recovery defines sobriety in two ways:

1. Chemical — Abstaining from mind-altering substances, whether drugs or alcohol.
1. Process — Abstaining from obsessive or compulsive behaviors that harm us physically, spiritually, financially, or emotionally.

The addictions we identify with and seek to overcome are left up to each individual.
