She Recovers Everyday

Making Meetings

April 16, 2026


I strongly believe that attending groups or gatherings or meetings with other recovering women is a wonderful way to get connected to your new way of life and to other women who are seeking healing. There are so many platforms and programs, you can attend meetings regularly—for free.

As with most things, I always suggest that you try different options until you find the one that fits. And then I recommend that you attend meetings as regularly as you can.

In some corners of the recovery world, it's suggested that you attend ninety meetings in ninety days to establish a recovery foundation. If you are a single person without any other commitments (job, family, pets), that is something you might consider, but I have always thought that "ninety in ninety" is much too high a bar to set for most of us.

I'd rather suggest ninety days of self-care with as many meetings as you think you can manage after you have found time to do the things that you already know help your recovery (walks, creative pursuits, naps) and after you have worked, taken care of other loved ones, gone to therapy, etc. How many meetings you attend is your business.

Nobody else's. Make room for as many recovery meetings as fill you up, but not so many that they drain you.
