I just want to talk to someone about what I'm doing, why I'm having problems kicking and how I feel as a "current" addict.

(TRIGGER REPLY- DONT READ IF YOU CANT HEAR ABOUT DRUGS)
I think that a page for ADDICTIONS you should feel ok to post about your drug...you can put "trigger" in your title...and then if people read it...THAT is on them. I don't think it is in the rules to not talk about a specific drug! If it is someone please let me know.
I am recovering from alcohol ...I wish I could smoke marijuana right now! My boyfriend does crack/cocaine...and he is embarrassed to tell anyone that..in person or online...I feel bad for him...because I get a great release..from talking things out.
