Content Standards

You are responsible for everything you post. Content must be your own or content you have the right to share. Do not post material that infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, or other rights.

Privacy Within the Community

This platform is not anonymous and is not confidential in the way a recovery meeting is. Administrators can see what is posted, and other members can see anything you share in community areas. Use your own judgment about what you disclose, and never disclose another member's identity, recovery status, or story outside this community.

Crisis Situations

Our community is not a substitute for professional help and is not monitored around the clock. If you or another member is in crisis, contact emergency services immediately.

Moderation and Enforcement

We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to monitor, review, edit, or remove any content at our sole discretion. We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting activity to law enforcement.

Enforcement decisions are made at our discretion. Termination for a violation does not entitle you to a refund.
