1. Respect and Kindness We’re all here to heal and grow. Speak with compassion, avoid judgment, and treat everyone with dignity. 2. Confidentiality What’s shared here, stays here. Protect the privacy of others. No screenshots or sharing stories outside the group without permission. 3. No Hate or Harmful Content Absolutely no discrimination, harassment, shaming, or triggering material (violence, hate speech, etc.). 4. Stay Recovery-Focused Posts and comments should encourage growth, accountability, or community. Off-topic is okay sometimes, but keep the main focus on recovery. 5. No Selling or Spam This space is for connection, not promotion. Don’t pitch products, services, or outside groups without approval. 6. Support > Advice Offer encouragement and share your experiences, but remember: none of us are here to replace professional help. Keep advice supportive, not prescriptive. 7. Celebrate Progress (Big or Small) Every win counts. Share your victories — even if it’s just “I showed up today.” 8. Be Accountable Take responsibility for your words and actions. If mistakes happen, own them and grow forward. 9. Trigger Warnings If your post might include sensitive material (relapse, trauma, loss), please add a ⚠️ Trigger Warning at the top. 10.
