During this meeting the Fresh Hope Recovery Principles will be read and followed by a quick check in by members who want to participate. They do so by stating their names, what their diagnosis is and then telling the group where their mood is that night (on a scale from 1 being depressed to 5 being stable), how clear is their thinking, how full is their hope tank and whether they are surviving or thriving. After that a topic related to recovery is presented and then conversation is fostered.
