So I would really like this group to be a safe place for people to talk about addiction. Not just about "quitting" because that's nice and all and we all need support while quitting any addiction, but just how people live with addiction. My cousin just joined DA in hopes of being able to talk to someone about her addiction. I would love to send her to some people who could help her. How to live with an addiction, how other people are living with an addiction, how to keep it from going out of control, and yes, how to think about how you will quit someday.
So how about this. If you're interested in talking about any of these things in a private setting, think of me like a Catholic priest. I've seen it all, done it all (pretty much) and I won't judge you. So send me a note with your addictions and what you'd be interested in talking to someone else about. I'll try to match people up.
If necessary I will start a LJ blog about the big addictions or issues and you can all join under false names and we can speak honestly about all these things.
For me and for my cousin and for all of you..... Please help
