RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

In most civilized countries, if your doctor signs on it, you get paid sick leave, and the majority will sign, as they will see the withdrawal as a debilitating disease.
If most addicts were going to doctors to get off, I think there would be a higher success rate. I imagine many, if not most, don't even have a doctor to see
I haven't had a primary health physician since I was 15. I'm 30.
