Welcome Diane, thank you for signing in and saying hello. We have a daily check in section if you visit the site daily. We also have a section with sharing on addiction. Heard my story by a long-timer in AA who only drank beer which I hated. Heard my story in CA by a heroin addict, a substance I never used and she never drank because her father was an alcoholic. It all leads to the same soul sickness, no matter what we pick up, yet it helps to identify. I stayed sick for a long time because I compared instead of learning to identify.
