Quotations from Dr. Abraham Low
About Recovery international
Recovery International
Recovery was founded in 1937 by Abraham Low,
M.D., a Chicago neuropsychiatrist. He found value in
peer support and believed that people could help themselves and each other. Recovery International teaches participants to apply Dr. Low's principles for acquiring self-leadership, overcoming the fear of nervous symptoms, and strengthening self-confidence. With the presentation of "examples" by other members
(using the four-step Method he developed), followed by "spotting" techniques, members seek and obtain the
help of fellow meeting participants and learn how to practice the Recovery International system
effectively.
Meeting Formats
No matter where you are located, you can find Recovery International meetings via Zoom, telephone, chat, and even in-person at some locations.
