You deserve support too. Find meetings, tools, literature, and next steps for living with someone else’s addiction or harmful behavior.
Support for you
Living with someone else's addiction or harmful behavior is exhausting, and it is not your job to fix the person you care about. These programs exist for you — your sleep, your finances, your safety, your peace of mind. Doinit and Movinit will walk you in; the help itself comes from the organisations below.
Safety first
If you are in immediate danger, experiencing violence, or worried about someone’s immediate safety, call 911 or your local emergency number. In the U.S., call or text 988 for mental-health crisis support.
We don't copy meeting schedules into the app. Every “find a meeting” button opens the organisation's own finder, where you can search by city, ZIP code, state, or online meeting. From an official listing you can open directions in Google Maps or Apple Maps and add your own private reminder to your calendar.
