We run the Bush Tribe through a Facebook private group because this is what's familiar to most users - and because these groups now have the added function / option for users posting anonymously.

I understand that if I choose to be anonymous it is my responsibility to use the ''anonymous'' member posting function and not my own name.

YYYY

Which of these best describes where you're at? *

You can pick more than one

I reckon I might be drinking too much

I definitely want to cut back but don't know where to start ....

I think it might be time to give up drinking altogether

I have made the decision to quit, and I'd love some peer-support and to learn from those who've already been there and done that in the bush.

I've already quit drinking - I am here for the camaraderie.

I am long-term sober and I just want to be part of this group because the sober life is for me!

I'd like to stick my hand up and acknowledge I have experience as a mentor and am happy to help others one-on-one independently of the group (if this is you, you'll get a separate email with how this will work.)

Required

Please tell us (be as honest as you can) about what you hope to change or achieve by being part of our tribe? There are no right or wrong answers. It could be long or short term goals. Whatever you feel comfortable sharing with us. *

Please tick YES to acknowledge you're here to help yourself and not to support a friend or family member and that you're also NOT a professional here to use the group for your own gain. That is not our purpose. *

YES, I acknowledge and understand.

Do you acknowledge that being in this group is not a substitute for a recovery programme, one-on-one counselling, professional advice, or emergencies. *

Yes

If you're here to try stop alcohol use altogether have you got a programme/s or method/s in mind to use and follow? *

Yes I'm already working with a programme(s) of my choice and plan on maintaining that. (Examples include SMART Recovery, or working with Hello Sunday Morning's government funded coaching support via Daybreak, or Alcoholics Anonymous.)

I am brand new to this but I look forward to investigating what's available through the Tribe and I understand the Bush Tribe isn't a substitute for a programme and that my responsibility will be to investigate what sounds right for me - and I understand that's expected when I join.

I am planning to build my own jigsaw from bits and pieces that make sense for me.

HELP US FIGHT FOR YOU ! *

Have you tried to get help or support in your community previously and felt like nothing ''resonated'' or made sense for you? If so, please tell us a little about that experience. This is the CRITICAL information we can use and pass on to leaders and politicians in our fight for change.

HOME-BASED detox - could this help you? *

SITC has partnered with a new organisation who deliver hone-based tele-health detox support. If you think you need support to safely detox with support from home - please let us know - and we will send you the eligibility criteria and follow up.

I definitely think I need this - please email me more information.

No, I don't think I need this.
