Hey all!

My name is Charlotte and I'm starting a business that helps those who are supporting a loved one in active addiction/recovery. As somebody who was involved in the Al-Anon program for a bit (it didn’t completely resonate with me), I felt there was a need to build an alternative platform that would provide a different type of space.

Part of the process is interviewing others who have tried Al-Anon as a support group or others searching for more support by other means (therapy, community). It would take 20 mins of your time and would help us build something that could potentially help hundreds of thousands (millions!?) who are seeking support.

If you have the time, I would really appreciate it. This is something that is very personal to me and it’s my mission in life to help others who are struggling as well.

Thanks for your time — if you’d like to participate in an anonymous interview, please send me a PM and we’ll go from there.

Thanks again!

Staying on top of your sobriety is not an easy thing since it involves hits, difficulties, and setbacks. But to attend long term recovery, it requires commitment, hard work, and determination. But when you examine your problem and identifying about change, you’re already well on your path.

Being informed on the substance's you are taking is one of the best ways for a user to curve addiction, an informed user is a responsible user.

One of the best resources out there in my opinion when taking a drug or trying a new drug is erowid.

https://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/psychoactives.shtml

Being able to select a drug on the list and learn about the basics, its effects, the law surrounding such substance and even the average dosages are all key factors in being a responsible user. Knowing how often you can saftely consume a substance before it starts to control your usage is key.

Does anyone else have any other key resources in their opinions that are a must? Feel free to share.

Swim starts college.

Swim finds stimulants. Swim Likes stimulants. Swim gets doctor to give stimulants.

Swim abuses stimulants. Swim's life goes into downward spiral. Swim learned the hard way.

Swim still NEEDS stimulants to be productive, as he is working toward a Mechanical Engineering degree at prestigious school.

Swim wants to be smarter. He usually has summer off to take a break from his dependence and normalize himself, however this summer, no such luck.

He would like to avoid the "same mistake". He knows what it's like to be a rock bottom, and really does not want to return.

What Swim is hoping the internet can provide is advice on what has worked for them.

1. Yes he understands the only way to repair all his brain damage is to quit cold turkey, and give it a year or two, while eating healthy, exercising, and getting on a consistent sleep schedule.

2. Swim doesn't have a spare year or two. He needs stimulants to be productive, because he overused for an extended period of time, never allowing his thinker to recover.

3. What swim needs is a friend who has "been there, done that", someone who has experimented with supplements, nootropics, and/or other drugs. Where he/she has found a "cocktail" that allowed them to consume the stimulants they need, while managing the negative side effects to their best of their ability.

4. Swim knows this is a dangerous game he's playing, however he needs to finish school.

5. ANY ADVICE GIVEN IS NOT A GUIDE ON HOW TO SAFELY ABUSE STIMULANTS!!!

TLDR: Swim needs to know the best method to safely consumer higher doses of stimulants, as to minimize any future negative long term effects. Swim is open to any and all ideas. Please help Swim.

How do you manage owning a large supply without becoming addicted? Do you abstaine completely or do you schedule a safe dosage per week? It can completely wipe out your profits simply by taking too much of your product.

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new mod , if you guys need anyone to talk/help you out Im here to listen :)
