Well, no, it does say substance abusers should start in the "Newcomers to Recovery" forum, it doesn't specify just alcoholism but I think most of the people on this site have solely alcohol problems, so they wouldn't know how to help. I don't know how to help. I also was going to bed and saw that there were 2 posts referring to substance abuse that hadn't been responded to and wanted to give you a heads up so maybe someone can help you. I wish you well!
