We have many talented secular members who have developed free recovery resources to help other members, and we’re starting to list them on this page.

If you’ve developed a resource, let us know (Contact us)! We will consider hosting your resource on this page; bear in mind, the resource must be free and focused on our community (i.e., food addiction-applicable and non-religious). We reserve the right to decline posting any community-developed resources to the website after a thorough review.
