FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I NEED TO DETOX, IS THIS GROUP FOR ME?"
    If you are in need of medical detox or are experiencing medical withdrawal, you must speak to your doctor or call 911.
  • DO I HAVE TO SPEAK OR SHOW MY FACE IN MEETUPS?
    Never! Sharing is always optional, as is showing your face.
  • WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE THE MEETUPS LIVE?
    Due to privacy, we are not recording virtual meetups. We have a variety of times available, but please contact us if there is a time that would be ideal for you! We have general sobriety support meetings each day, as well as affinity meetings. We will be adding more meeting times as the demand for them increases. The community and other resources will always be accessible 24/7
  • WHAT IF I DON'T IDENTIFY AS SOBER OR AM JUST SOBER CURIOUS?
    We would love to have you. We all started our journey somewhere! We are all like minded in the sense that alcohol and substances are not required accessories to motherhood! However, we do not “teach” moderation, our ultimate message is that alcohol free life is a better life.
  • WHAT IF I'VE BEEN TRYING TO QUIT DRINKING FOR YEARS, AM NOT SURE IF I WANT TO STOP FOREVER, AM STILL DRINKING/USING, OR HAVE A SLIP OR "RELAPSE"?"
    Even more reason for you to need a community of moms who understand. You cannot share during meetings while actively under the influence, however, and we will not teach members how to moderate alcohol. Rather, we will show you how to live a life that makes alcohol small and irrelevant. Wherever you are on your journey toward the ultimate goal of alcohol free life, you are welcome here.
  • ARE THE MEETUPS RECOVERY MEETINGS?
    Our virtual meetups are not AA, or NA or SMART recovery or any other organized program. The focus of our meetups is connection, female empowerment, and joyful motherhood. This is a group of moms trudging through motherhood together, and desiring an alcohol free life through it all. We welcome people from all recovery modalities, practices, religions, colors, shapes, and sizes! We are open, and inclusive. If you are a mom (or mom to be) navigating the sober or sober-curious lifestyle, we are here for you.
  • WHAT ABOUT OTHER SUBSTANCES/DRUGS?
    We have moms in recovery from many different types of substances, you are welcome here! We also do not take a personal stance on drug use, just as we do not take a personal stance on alcohol use, but we do not allow conversation in our meetings or community encouraging others to use substances, or to promote your use of them. Our meetings are focused on living alcohol free.
  • TALK TO ME ABOUT PRIVACY!
    Though only members have access, we can't guarantee your privacy if you chose to show your face and use your name. If you are concerned, keep your video off and don't use your real name.
  • WHAT’S YOUR CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY?
    You can cancel your membership anytime, but there are no refunds. Contact us if you need help cancelling. You can read the Terms and Conditions here.
  • WHY IS THIS A PAID SERVICE?
    All recovery organizations require money to flow through them to operate, we are no different! The platform, labor, human resources that go into making Sober Mom Squad run are not free. We are also a financial supporter of the SHE RECOVERS Foundation Conferences (Miami and Chicago). In addition, we believe in paying women for the work they are trained for. Because we charge a membership fee, we can offer scholarships to anyone with financial need. Contact us for more info if you need a scholarship!
