Are you here to do research?

Frankly I don't care for the idea but I suppose one of the mods has to weigh in on wether it violates any site rules

As far as I know this site is open to anyone. If reading and commenting here help you to help others I see no problem. Well done on your 13 years! So many of us desire that.

Welcome Robert,

Just to be clear, you are very welcome to post here as a recovering alcoholic, but we do not allow any kind of advertising or research.

after 13 years i would love to think of myself cured but my addictions still haunt and pursue me. i apologize if i came off clinical it is one thing i am not. i just would like input in my own struggles as they are real

as far as recruitment and research i am not here for that sorry . it it the field i work in, but i have no avenue fir support as our community is so tight to show those i work with my vulnerabilities would be detrimental to others in their recovery. i do appreciate as much support i can. thankx

i am part of a growing community of recovery here but we are all looking for a light to respond to. its harder being with so many years of recovery, for i do not have all the answers and its gets tougher to seek support from my fellows in recovery. for my own sanctity i sought a venue of support and the fates brought me here. i pray it is the right choice. thank you!!

Hi Robert

with a site as large as this we often get unscrupulous folks trying to network their own site or surreptiously advertise their wares here.

Please don't take our commitment to our members security personally.

If you're a genuine SR user looking for help and support, you have nothing to fear from the mods or admin - and nothing apologise for

lets move on

Welcome. I like the term wellbriety! I can see how it would be tough to find support if you are the support. Glad you are here.
