HOW IT WORKS

• Download the app.

• Open the app to join a local message group or create one.

• Send messages in the group to communicate with other local addiction peer-recovery coaches.

• When messaging simply type your message and send. A peer-recovery coach will respond and your identity remains secret. You are automatically assigned a unique user ID that only the peer-recovery coach can see. Who you are is always hidden unless you say so in the messaging.
