Overview of ESAAlliance
Enthusiastic Sobriety Abuse Alliance, Inc. (ESAAlliance) was incorporated in May of 2021 and was formed as an organized effort to foster community involvement to report, expose and ultimately close the predatory and fraudulent Enthusiastic Sobriety Programs. While taking great strides to compile survivor testimonies and collect data illustrating the consistent abuses within Enthusiastic Sobriety Programs, ESAAlliance hopes to also bring understanding, validation and resources for the community of Enthusiastic Sobriety Survivors.
