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/#/%23fafopwa%3Amatrix.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?”
