This meeting honors all pathways to recovery, acknowledging that each person’s path is unique and reflects their personal strengths. These meetings are an opportunity for social support that focuses on the hope and healing found in recovery and to connect with others who are initiating and maintaining a recovery lifestyle. This is CLOSED meeting, intended only for UofSC students, faculty, and staff who identify as being in recovery, seeking recovery, and/or impacted by addiction in their relationships. No meeting on November 25, 2020.

Addiction affects the whole family. Meetings for students affected by a loved one's addiction provide education, resource navigation, and on-going support needed to address substance use disorder in a healthy and constructive way. No meeting on November 26, 2020. 

Recovery Yoga/Recovery Dharma Meetings

This meeting will alternate between Recovery Yoga and Recovery Dharma. 

Recovery Yoga is a yoga class open for everyone to attend.  A Gamecock Recovery student and licensed yoga instructor leads the class that includes a series of yoga poses and ends with a discussion tied to recovery and well-being. 

Recovery Dharma is a peer-led, grass-roots, democratically-structured organization. The mission is to support individuals on their path of recovery from addiction using Buddhist practices and principles. The Gamecock Recovery Meeting of Recovery Dharma at the University of South Carolina is a local meeting, sponsored and hosted by the Gamecock Recovery organization, to bring this approach to recovery to the university community. No meeting on November 27, 2020.  Meetings on 9/25 and 10/2 will only be available online and not in person.

If you plan to attend either of these meetings in person at the C.A.L.M. Oasis, you will be required to:

• Complete a COVID screening upon entering the Center for Health and Well-Being
• Enter the Center for Health and Well-Being from the 2nd floor

What is Recovery Coaching?

According to CCAR, "A Recovery Coach promotes recovery and removes barriers and obstacles to recovery, serving as a personal guide and mentor." Our certified Recovery Coaches can help you generate strategies, stay motivated, and connect to resources to help your recovery. Recovery Coaching is available for students in recovery from substance use disorder, those considering recovery, and those impacted by addiction in their families.

Virtual Recovery Coaching is available now! Email hollifm@email.sc.edu for the link or to schedule an appointment. In person appointments may be available this fall, based on the availability of appropriate space and the use of face coverings and physical distancing measures.
