Interesting survey about alcoholism from /r/stopdrinking reddit

I stumbled across this today and found it very interesting. You may need to be a reddit user to view. Newcomers may find the part about frequency of cravings for alcohol compared with the length of time sober encouraging.

It came up as an unsecure connection when I first clicked, but the website seems safe to me. Enjoy

I’d really like to read this, but the link goes to a survey even though I’m a reddit member.

Please could you let me know the thread title. I’ll read and post a summary here.

Hi guys - unfortunately its against our rules to link to external sites like reddit.

Maybe interested parties can PM you for the thread link sobersophie?

Ah, sorry Dee. I wasn't aware it was against the rules. Anyone interested can google /r/stopdrinking reddit and find the survey in their FAQ section.

Just out of curiosity, as a guy who's never been to Reddit until this morning, is there something objectionable about it? I never read any discussion, but I did spend 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to find a survey. So I googled "what's wrong with Reddit" and did maybe get the impression that it is poorly regulated. Is that why we can't link to it?

It is a bit more sweary and crude at times than here, but nothing I would call objectionable. It is just a site where there are different sections ('subreddits') about almost any topic you can imagine. The bit I had linked to was the /r/stopdrinking subreddit, where people, understandably, discuss their experiences, trials and tribulations of quitting drinking.
