Lungs Matter (LMA )

Perfect — Lungs Matter Anonymous (LMA) it is.

Building the full program now. Here’s the structure for Lungs Matter Anonymous (LMA):

LMA - Lungs Matter Anonymous

S: 12 Steps

1. We admitted we had become powerless over nicotine, vapor, and false comfort — that our lungs and our lives had become compromised.

2. Came to believe that real air and clean lungs could restore us to health and clarity.

3. Made a decision to turn our breathing and our well-being over to the care of what is natural, as we understand it.

4. Made a searching and fearless health inventory of our bodies, our choices, and our habits.

5. Admitted to ourselves, to another human being, and to whatever we believe in, the exact nature of our fogged-up thinking.

6. Were entirely ready to let go of the illusion that vapor, smoke, or chemicals ever served us.

7. Humbly asked for strength to clear our lungs and our minds.

8. Made a list of all the ways we polluted our bodies and lives, and became willing to make it right — starting with ourselves.

9. Made direct efforts to clean up our health and choices, except when doing so would harm others or ourselves.

10. Continued to breathe with awareness and take responsibility for any new fog or false comfort we create.

11. Sought through mindfulness and reflection to improve our connection to real well-being, asking only for clarity and courage to honor our lungs.

12. Having awakened to fresh air and honest choices, we tried to carry this message to others and to live lung-healthy principles in all our affairs.

13: 13th Step Warning/Safeguard

Beware substituting one false comfort for another. Whether it’s nicotine, flavored fog, or people who distract from your healing — recovery isn’t about replacing the trap, it’s about walking free.

T: 12 Traditions

1. Our shared well-being comes first; personal recovery depends on community health.

2. For our group's purpose, we come together for lung health and clarity — unity is key.

3. The only requirement for membership is the desire to breathe free.

4. Each group is autonomous except in matters that affect LMA as a whole.

5. Each group has one primary purpose — to support healthy, honest living free of nicotine and vapor.

6. LMA never endorses or opposes outside products or opinions — our message is based on experience, not marketing.

7. We are fully self-supporting, declining outside money or influence.

8. LMA is a non-professional fellowship, but we may work alongside health advocates who share our aim.

9. Our structure serves us, not controls us — leadership is trusted, not bossed.

10. LMA has no opinion on outside controversies — we focus on clean air, clean choices.

11. We maintain humility in public, sharing the message through example, not hype.

12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of our community, reminding us to place principles over personalities.

What Needs to Be Talked About

How we confuse comfort with chemicals. How we forget our lungs were made for air, not flavored fog. How accepting our vulnerability — and forgiving ourselves for falling for the lie — makes us stronger. How leadership means setting an example, not preaching. How danger feels distant when we’ve got comfort food, a bed, and a vape — but the danger's still real. How inconvenience isn’t the same as suffering. How recovery means learning to sit with frustration and breathe through it, instead of fogging it away.

How This Program Can Help

Daily, it reminds you that your lungs — and your choices — matter. It offers a space to heal from the false belief that vaping is harmless.
