Welcome to AddictionSurvivors.org The goal of these forums is to connect people with interest in getting/giving support with others relating to addiction disorders.

This board is not a place to reminisce about the days in active addiction. This is a positive resource for those seeking to become free from addiction disorders and for families and friends to find information and support. We ask that you cite sources (if possible) when posting facts and identify opinion as such. (IMO = "In my opinion") The views and opinions of the participants of this discussion forum do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the website creators and administrators.

We recommend that people NOT post personal information like name, phone number, email address, or other personal information. If you choose to post personal information be aware that the information will be available to anyone who accesses the site. Also, if you do choose to give someone your email address, we suggest you create a temporary address that forwards to your present account. This will afford you more anonymity and allow you to discontinue the relationship if you ever need to.

No Medical Advice or Doctor-Patient Relationship
Information contained on or made available through the Site is not intended to and does not constitute medical advice, recommendations or counseling under any circumstance and no doctor-patient relationship is formed. We do not warranty or guarantee the accurateness, completeness, adequacy or currency of the information contained in or linked to the Site.
