Hello, this is my very first post and I have no idea how this works. I was looking around for support and I stumbled around and found this site. I have never tried an online support group so I'm not sure what to expect. I'm hoping to get help and tools to help myself. If someone could just ping this message to make sure I'm posting this right to the "Drug" support group. Thank you very much

It is indeed posted to the Drug support group and welcome to the group! This group can be utilized in many different ways- I find it can be a great place to vent about my feelings or experiences, and get feedback and support from people. It also can be a place to find real suggestions and advice about situations from people who have gone through what you have. It is also a great resource for encouragement during those tough times when you're not sure you can get through the day. In return, it can also feel great to support others. I've found as I've gotten further in my recovery, it can be rewarding to pass on my advice to others and help them. I hope this site can be a great resource for you as well and that you keep posting and can, when you feel comfortable, share your story with us. Best wishes and know you're not alone in this!
@running_girl_04 Thank you for replying like I said, never have done this before. If I’m posting this right now is the whole support group visible to it or just you? Being a private person sometimes complicates things but my goal is to open up so I can take it in
I just found this site, too, and I don't really know what to expect either. So far, though, I have felt comfortable in just expressing my thoughts and emotions and have gotten nothing but positive energy in return. As a very private and somewhat inhibited person, I can already feel how freeing it is to open up with no fear of judgement or reprisal, and I hope you find the same is true for you.
