Spread the Red
Addiction is a disease that doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what kind of job you have, or where you live, addiction can affect everyone. It’s important that we all work together to fight this disease. One small way you can help is by wearing your MAA shirt to one of our support group meetings and around your community.
MAA shirts are more than just a fashion statement. They’re a symbol of hope and unity in the fight against addiction. Wearing your MMA shirt amongst your community, at work, at your local church, and at one of our group meetings, are some of the powerful ways to show your support for those struggling with addiction. Letting someone know they’re not alone goes a long way.

Who We Are
MAA is a national non-profit organization dedicated to supporting anyone affected by addiction. We provide resources, information, and a compassionate community for individuals struggling with addiction, as well as for families and loved ones who have experienced loss due to addiction.
Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic status. While it may seem like there is no hope for those affected by addiction, we believe that recovery is possible for everyone.
MAA is committed to helping everyone affected by addiction in finding hope and healing. We offer support groups, resources, and information to mothers struggling with addiction, as well as those who have lost a child to addiction. We believe that healing and change begin with a strong support system and we are committed to helping individuals and families rebuild their lives to break the cycle of addiction.
If you are struggling with addiction, we urge you to reach out for help. You are not alone. We are here to support you on your journey to recovery.
The Problem Of Addiction
Addiction is a serious problem that affects millions of people around the world. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there are more than 20 million people in the United States alone who suffer from addiction.
Out of those 20 million, only a fraction receive treatment. The problem is that addiction is often seen as a moral failing rather than a disease. This stigma prevents many people from seeking help because they are afraid of being judged.
MAA seeks to change that by raising awareness about addiction and its causes. We believe that addiction is a disease that should be treated with compassion and understanding.
Our community works to break down the stigma associated with addiction so that more people will seek treatment. We are also working to educate people about the signs and symptoms of addiction so that they can better understand and support their loved ones who are struggling.
What We're Doing About It
MAA is committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by addiction. We are working to change the way society views addiction so that more people will seek treatment. We are also working to educate people about the signs and symptoms of addiction so that they can better understand and support their loved ones who are struggling. In addition, we are working to raise funds for research so that we can find new and better ways to treat this disease.
If you’re a mother who is struggling with addiction, know that you are not alone. There is help available and there is hope. At MAA, we are working to change the way society views addiction so that more people will seek treatment. We are also working to educate people about the signs and symptoms of addiction so that they can better understand and support their loved ones who are struggling. If you need help, please reach out to us. We are here for you!
