Friends and Family of Persons with Addiction

Description

This is a safe space for friends and family of addicts to share stories, give support, and post resources for addiction.
This is not a group for people currently experiencing addiction. There are other Fediverse communities with that purpose, and I plan to facilitate my own in the future as well.

Notes

This is not exclusive to drug addiction, as there are many types of addiction.
I intend to add resources as I am able.

Chat

There is a Matrix channel for a more live-style chat. It can be found at: https://matrix.to/#/#fafopwa:matrix.org
Element is a popular client for Matrix channels and is available on iOS, Android, F-Droid and other platforms

Resources

Dr Gabor Maté has one of the most comprehensive understandings of addiction that I have found. His book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts helps people understand the reason for addiction as we understand it currently.
Addict in the House by Robin Barnett has a more direct approach for “okay, now what can I actually do in my situation?”

🤗 Thanks for joining our little instance here, located in Oregon. The idea is to have a fast, stable instance and allow users to subscribe to whatever content they want from here.

😎 We dont block any other instances. We will keep it that way unless it becomes a moderation problem.

🤠 We will be around for a very long time, so you dont have to worry about us shutting down the instance anytime soon. We like performance and stability in our servers, and will upgrade the instance when its needed.

🥹 Make sure to join a lot of remote communities to get a good feed going. How to do that is explained here.
