LifeRing Email Groups
Join our LSR Life eMail Group Today!
LSR Life is an email group for our meeting members where people can get together and engage in sober conversation, share a pic, talk about food, a favorite vacation spot, or any activity promoting a substance-free lifestyle. The group will be lightly monitored to encourage sane and sober exchanges. Click here for details and here to subscribe.
This email group is not a chartered LifeRing meetings and attendance verification requests will not be honored. If you require verification of meeting attendance, we encourage you to participate in our chartered LifeRing in-person meetings and online meetings. You can find more information about meeting attendance verification requests here.
All of the LifeRing e-mail groups are private, meaning that joining requires approval by the group convenor (largely a formality), and the members' names and messages are not accessible through the general Internet, or to search engines. Joining an e-mail group can seem a bit daunting, but it's very easy. To ensure privacy, membership has to be approved by the group Convenor. That's accomplished just by either clicking on the group name, which takes you to the group website where you can click the "Join this Group" button or writing an e-mail to the group's convenor asking to be signed up. It's almost automatic if you're an actual human and not a spammer. For a more detailed look at how email groups work, see Email Support Groups: a Guide
Before you sign up, please review the Terms of Use - these terms apply to all the LifeRing email groups.

LSRmail: The original LifeRing e-mail group. In its third decade of providing online sober support. The membership includes both those new to sobriety and folks with many years clean and sober. Originally created to bring together those without access to face-to-face groups, it has grown to include many who use it as an adjunct to their in-person meetings. Support is freely given and received from members around the world at almost any hour of the day or night. Overseen by founder and continuing listmeister Tom Shelley, LSRmail offers a friendly, comfortable, unmoderated atmosphere. All list communication is confidential to members only.
