04 – Resources – MAP – Moms for All Paths to Recovery – Mother’s Resource Group – 24/7 @ Facebook Group

Jul 20 all-day

Moms for All Paths to Recovery (MAP)

This is an online Facebook group for moms who have or had children that are experiencing issues due to alcohol or drug use. We also have advocates, harm reductionists, and experts in the field of addiction in our camp.

We mothers often feel powerless to act on behalf of our own (and our family and children’s) best interests. But we know the antidote to powerlessness: KNOWLEDGE.

* THAT’S WHY THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT GROUP

It is a hub for information and resources that are relevant to our member audience, based on science, and driven by data.

We encourage you to engage with our community by posting relevant information: Trusted news reports, scientific articles, and any other information that would be helpful to our members in navigating this long and winding road.

Of course, data doesn’t speak for itself, and members are free to post their interpretations of the information shared here. We do not necessarily have to agree with everything that’s posted; critical conversations are important and make us stronger and wiser. So take what you need, and leave the rest behind.

Group rules from the admins

* We support Harm Reduction (meeting people where they’re at).

* We do NOT believe in the concepts of “tough love,” “enabling” and “codependency.”

* We support ALL Pathways to Recovery, including FDA approved medications for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

* We do NOT support drug induced homicide laws. PLEASE DO NOT JOIN THIS GROUP if you are not OPEN to LEARNING more about the above or to promote anything that is contrary to our principles.

Avoid Stigmatizing Language

It’s important to ensure that the language we use to talk about substance use is respectful and compassionate. Terms like; addict, junkie, drug abusers, etc. will be deleted (we have a complete list of suggested terms in our GUIDE section). Using neutral, medically accurate terminology when describing substance use is preferred. Please use people-first language, that focuses first on the individual.

Be Kind and Courteous

We are all on this roller-coaster ride together. Please treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.

Do Not Advertise or Promote Your Services

But we do welcome your opinions and any other relevant information as it pertains to our groups subject matter. This needs to be a safe space without sales. Give more to this group than you take. Self-promotion, spam, and irrelevant links aren’t allowed.

Irrelevant content will be deleted.

We Are Mothers

We are not medical professionals. Our only degree is in mothering our children through addiction. We do however, bring a wealth knowledge based on our experiences.

Do Not Ask for Mony or Post Fundraisiers

We do not allow solicitation of any kind. The only fundraiser we support is for our annual Warrior Woman Retreat and to support our LIVE giveaways.

Do Not BLOCK Group Admins

MAP is an educational group, and we encourage thoughtful discussion. The full benefit, however, cannot be gained if members block Admins who comment in the group or who post relevant content, including announcements. Members who block Admins will be removed from the Group. Posts shared into MAP by individuals who have our Admins blocked will likewise be deleted since we are unable to validate the legitimacy of the post if we cannot view the information.

About Moderation Management

Moderation Management (MM) is a secular nonprofit founded in 1994 as the first harm reduction–based peer support program built specifically for non-dependent problem drinkers. MM was created to offer a practical, non-judgmental alternative to abstinence-only programs for people who recognize their drinking is causing problems but are not yet ready — or appropriate — for full sobriety. MM’s nine-step cognitive behavioral program has helped tens of thousands of members take responsibility for their drinking, reduce harmful patterns, and build healthier lives on their own terms. MM has been honored with a Top-Rated Nonprofit Award from GreatNonprofits and maintains an active network of daily online meetings, peer communities, and free self-guided resources. For professional resources, MM operates an approved provider directory connecting members with moderation-informed therapists and counselors.

Moderation Management is not appropriate for individuals with physical alcohol dependence — if you experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms including tremors, sweating, confusion, racing heart, or seizures, seek emergency medical attention immediately, as alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. If a person is in immediate danger, call 911. For mental health emergencies, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. For free, confidential treatment referrals, contact the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, available 24/7.
