Why Summer Splash?

Why Summer Splash?

Summer is synonymous with water—poolside barbecues, lakeside gatherings, and water-related vacations with family or friends. These moments of joy and togetherness can be powerful reminders of connection and resilience. For those struggling with addiction, summer’s waters can feel overwhelming, but they can also symbolize the possibility of renewal.

LifeRing’s logo, imagery of a life preserver—a simple yet powerful tool—reflects our mission: to offer timely, tangible support when someone is struggling to stay afloat. 

By channeling the spirit of summer and focusing on sobriety, secularity, and self-empowerment, we invite you to throw a lifeline to those seeking recovery.

How You Can Be the LifeRing

Everyone has the power to make a difference. This summer, we encourage you to get involved and help someone in need of a LifeRing. Here are just a few ways you can assist those needing support:

• When you attend online meetings, share some of your lived experiences navigating the treacherous waters of drug and/or alcohol dependence.
• If you prefer in-person meetings, offer to meet afterward for coffee to discuss specific recovery challenges.
• LifeRing chat group members can write about what has been helpful to get out of the deep end of the pool and into sobriety safety.

Where Your Support Goes

Maybe it’s easier for you to donate your support. Every donation ties to a lifeline. Funds raised through this Summer Splash will be dedicated to:

• Preparing new peer convenors to lead LifeRing meetings
• Supplying LifeRing Recovery by Choice workbooks to treatment and recovery centers
• Contact with recovery professionals to ensure awareness of secular and abstinence-based recovery options

With your help, we can ensure no one faces the choppy waves of recovery alone.

Conclusion

As we gather by the water and savor the summer sun, let’s remember the power of connection and compassion. Together, we can offer hope, healing, and a path to recovery—one LifeRing at a time.

We invite you to join us, throw a LifeRing, and help someone catch the wave of recovery. If you enjoy LifeRing meetings, think about supporting the organization that supports you. This summer, let’s make a difference that will ripple outward for years to come.
