What to expect

At our meetings you can expect to see students from a range of majors, freshmen through seniors, PhD students and the occasional faculty or staff member in recovery will drop in. We speak about where we are at in our life, our recovery or simply what is top of mind, and help each other through sharing our own experience and what works for us. There is not a minimum requirement of recovery to attend this meeting, you can be in recovery, trying to achieve recovery or just wanting to learn more. All that we ask is that you are abstinent on the day you attend.

If you are nervous about going to your first meeting, you can meet one of us first in person by emailing rc@vt.edu or by phone 540-231-2233.
