ABOUT FIRST WINNIPEG SOS
First Winnipeg SOS is a non-profit, anonymous, secular addiction peer support organization founded in July 2013 in Winnipeg, Manitoba — making it one of Winnipeg’s first secular recovery groups with more than 12 years of experience supporting people in recovery. The organization is part of the broader Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) movement, originally founded in California in 1985 by James Christopher. First Winnipeg SOS takes a self-empowerment approach to recovery, promoting healthy skepticism, critical thinking, and personal responsibility for sobriety, while respecting recovery in any form regardless of the path by which it is achieved.

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.

Welcome to all genders, races, creeds, etc. Leave/Keep Substance or Behavioral issues Behind YOU!…SYS!! Early (today), Mid and Post-Recovery Peeps Welcome. Come as you Are!!
WHAT IS RECOVERY DHARMA?
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.
Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.

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.

MM is uniquely designed for non-dependent problem drinkers and does not require commitment to full abstinence. The program uses a nine-step cognitive behavioral change framework to help members take personal responsibility, recognize harmful patterns, set their own drinking goals, and build lasting habits. Meetings are drop-in, judgment-free, and led by volunteer facilitators. Over 30 meetings take place each week via Zoom — find one that fits your schedule below.

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.

WHAT IS RECOVERY DHARMA?
Recovery Dharma is a peer-led movement and community that is unified by our trust in the potential of each of us to recover and find freedom from the suffering of addiction. We believe that the traditional Buddhist teachings, often referred to as the Dharma, offer a powerful approach to healing from addiction and living a life of true freedom.
We believe that recovery means empowerment, and we support each other as partners walking the path together. We believe that recovery is rooted in finding our own inner wisdom and individual journeys.
Recovery Dharma is founded on, and inspired by, Buddhism that originated in India and later on flourished in other regions of Asia (e.g., South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia). We deeply appreciate the Buddhist heritage that was protected and freely offered by the ancestors of these cultures.
