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.
See the symbol I put the circle with the RED X....you can talk about your drug..according to the guidelines...you just have to use this symbol for your posts that may trigger someone. I can see thou...how I could post something and NOT KNOW it would be a trigger....
