Not One More Alabama mobilized to support, educate and inspire those impacted by the disease of addiction

In November 2016, Not One More Alabama 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. One goal is to arm families in our state with the knowledge of Narcan, how to access it and use it if necessary. We are providing education to families on how to navigate the world of treatment based on our own experiences and the experiences of others as we grow.
Based on our own experiences, our hope is to help the family who questions if their child has a problem to recognize and understand what they might be seeing, and what to do about it. We will support the family who just placed their loved one in treatment - perhaps with dinner from someone who has been in their shoes. And we will memorialize our lost family members and honor the ones who have lost a loved one to this horrible disease. We are green and growing and want all of you to join our mission and help us move forward.

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 our addicts 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.
