This community is a place to share information and support with others who are trying to stop using drugs, prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other addictive substances. Discuss with others, the symptoms of addiction, addiction recovery, ways to quit like tapering and cold turkey, and withdrawal symptoms. If you are interested in general "chat", please visit our
Addiction Social Community.
As someone who spent 11 years in active alcoholism and then got into active drug addiction after being dry for 9 years, I tend to view alcohol as just one of many substances that will feed the disease of Addiction. To me, it all the same - alcohol, opiates, speed, coke - it's all Addiction.
If what you're hoping to find is a lot of alcohol-specific posts, you're not likely to have that hope met here. But, if you mentally substitute the word "alcohol" everytime you hear a different substance mentioned, you might find a lot of wisdom here.
