FREEINDEED ANONYMOUS (FIDA) is a nonprofit fellowship of people in recovery from different kinds of addictions, enslavement and destructive patterns. What these addictions have in common is lives share a state of separation from God. Through the grace of God and with the help of the 12 steps of FIDA we are growing in the joy of freedom from our addictive, sinful nature. Working the 12 Steps enables us to be a faithful person of truth and to have a choice.

Deuteronomy 30:19 “I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing, and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants, …”

At the heart of our journey is a personal relationship with God — not a performance to be earned, but a relationship to be discovered and lived out, one day at a time. Our guide along this path is the written Word of God, the Tanakh and the Good News: not a rulebook demanding obedience, but a source of truth, honesty, and hope that meets us exactly where we are. We recognize that for many of us — whether raised Orthodox, Jewish, Christian, struggling with addiction, or shaped by other experiences — religion has also been a place of pain, control, or abuse. That matters to us. Nothing here is forced; it is offered. Our own life stories — the healing, the restoration, what God has worked in us through His Word and the 12 Steps — are living proof that this freely chosen relationship truly leads to freedom.

It does not matter where you come from, nor does it matter how deep you may have fallen into addiction or other destructive behaviors. Whether you have faced the challenges of incarceration, spent time in a psychiatric ward, or battled long-standing issues, you are not alone. Our community is a safe space for individuals from all walks of life. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and we honor the diverse experiences that each person brings. We believe that healing and recovery are possible for anyone willing to take the first Step.

The only requirement to come to our meetings is a sincere desire to be free from the addictions and behaviors that so easily enslave us. You don’t have to believe in God like we do now. Just be where you are right now and be honest with yourself in the first place. It’s perfectly sufficient if you consider it possible that our experience, strength, and hope on the path to freedom could also be helpful for you. HERE is a list of possible addictions, destructive behaviors, and sins with which you might identify with. We encourage you to be open to a Higher Power, and the 12 Steps of our recovery. Then you too may receive the freedom we already enjoy when we share our experience, strength, and hope in recovery.

John, 1:9 —  “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (TLV)

We find strength in one another as we support each other in our quests for healing and restoration.

If you are seeking a place of acceptance, understanding, and hope, we invite you to join us at FreeInDeed Anonymous. Together, we can walk the path of recovery, guided by faith and the promise of a new beginning.

FreeInDeed Anonymous does not claim to replace the meetings of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), or other 12-Step recovery groups. On the contrary, we strongly recommend continuing to attend meetings of AA, NA, or other 12-Step groups. It would be presumptuous to call into question—even in the slightest—the treasure of recovery, wisdom, hope, and strength found therein.

With each passing day, we seek to grow further in His grace, allowing it to shape our hearts and transform our lives. Our greatest longing is to continually draw from the true Source of Life—the One who offers us real Life, genuine Freedom, lasting Light, Love, Acceptance, Grace, Forgiveness, Mercy, and the fullness of Shalom. In doing so, we hope to move beyond surface-level faith and experience the real depth, richness, and freedom that only He can provide.

“So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!” (John 8:36 – TLV)
