Hello,

I am new here and I am not really sure how this site works. Would anyone be able to fill me in?

Welcome to SR!

Basically, you start a thread of what you feel like talking about.

Are you in recovery or seeking to be?

I am in recovery from a pretty horrible opiate addiction. I was chewing fentanyl patches like they were bubble gum

Welcome to SR, BeatrixBird. There's a ton of great wisdom and support to be found here.

The site works in that it's one addict helping another. Pretty simple but profound concept. Just find a topic that catches your eye and talk away. If you need help with something relating to your recovery then just talk about what's going on with you and more than one person will probably chime in with some possible help. If you see someone else that needs some help and feel like you have something to offer them, do so. The back and forth will help you too!
