Academics in Recovery is a weekly peer-support meeting for faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students who are coping with substance use or addiction and seek to cut down or quit, but cannot come out for fear of stigma and professional repercussions. We welcome those from other professions including attorneys, pilots, medical doctors, nurses, and more. We are closed to the public. We support all pathways to and viewpoints on recovery.

We convene Thursdays from noon-1:00 pm Eastern Time (U.S) using Zoom.

This time maximizes availability for our members in North America, South America, and Europe. If you would like to join contact Dr. Ted Beauchaine through our contact page, or through this email link. Please identify yourself and your profession. Dr. Beauchaine will provide you with a Zoom link and access code for the meeting.

See you soon!

Professionals, including academics, attorneys, clergy, physicians, psychologists, and others who provide mental health services face extreme stigma and career consequences for heavy alcohol consumption, drug use, and addiction. Although most large cities have recovery meetings for professionals, there are few to choose from, and many rural areas have no meetings at all. Engagement with a recovery community reduces shame and self-stigma, and supports long-term recovery.
