Not One More Alabama mobilized in 2016 to support, educate and inspire anyone impacted by the disease of addiction
In November 2016, Not One More Alabama (NOMA) began its journey as an organization to support families whose lives have been impacted by the disease of addiction. Eleven amazing women made up our initial Board of Directors and were soon joined by others willing to utilize their experience to help others. We hit the ground running with education, awareness and compassion projects.
Although we knew there was a need for an organization like NOMA, we had no idea how well our community would embrace our mission. We quickly grew from a group of compassionate individuals who planned to provide dinners to families who were dealing with a loved-one's substance use disorder to a viable non-profit in the state of Alabama.
NOMA was quickly recognized by national organizations like the Center for Motivation and Change who continue to provide training for NOMA Parent Coaches in our community; and the Partnership to End Addiction who has featured two of our board members in national awareness campaigns.
We enjoy a partnership with state organizations like Birmingham's Addiction Prevention Coalition and Mobile's Drug Education Council to bring state-wide educational events. Below is Board Member Ginny Murray featured in a national SOS Campaign sponsored by the Partnership to End Addiction and Facebook.

Our Mission:
- To provide SUPPORT to the members of our community that are struggling with addiction within their lives;
- To EDUCATE the community about drugs and the addictions that are killing us;
- To INSPIRE our young people to stay drug free and be a role model to the people around them;
- To shake loose that stigma that may keep parents from reaching out for help when this dark shadow hangs over their family, to know that they are not alone and do not have to deal with these things alone;
- To place a loving, compassionate arm around those sufffering from a substance use disorder and the people that love them, and help raise them out of the dark and into a place of light, recovery and peace;
- To help fill the gap between what our state, city and schools provide for services and what our community needs;
- And to work in conjunction with other city officials, local school district officials and other community-based organizations aimed at preventing, dealing with, and educating our community about the dangers of drugs in our city.
