How to Start a Recovery Group

Announcement
TechMission (the parent organization of Christians in Recovery and Alcoholics Victorious) has had a major reorganization. As a result, CIR and AV charters and local groups will no longer be supported. We apologize for any and all inconvenience caused. Christians in Recovery is looking for a new home. If you run a ministry with a similar vision and would like to discuss possibilities, please contact us.

You can still start and/or maintain a local Bible based Christian recovery group!
You are encouraged to do so! There is a wealth of information and resources on both the CIR and AV web sites to assist you in forming and leading a recovery group:
