Posting Guidelines

This is an open discussion community message board

posting guidelines for this site, are as follows:

1) The msn code of conduct that everyone has agreed to when they became a member of this club. If you need a refresher of those terms here is a link:

http://communities.msn.com/conduct

2) Any medical advice that is posted as far as detox or modalities of recovery are the opinions of the individual poster. The management will not be held responsible for poster's content.

3) Since the management of this community recognize that it has no control over what anyone thinks or says, this community is being changed to a site where "mature" information is shared. We ask that you agree that you are 18 years or older to join this site, as to protect minors from information that could be potentially harmful.

4) We recognize that there are many potential paths to recovery from prescription drug addiction. That said, the managers of this site are, admittedly, "traditionalists" who attempt, as much as possible, to keep this site on the track of using 12-step recovery and, as appropriate, skilled medical assistance, in quitting drugs. Hence, we prefer to screen sites before a link to them appears in a message or on our links page. If you'd like to recommend a site, go to the "Tools" link on the bottom left of your page and then find the "Send email to Managers" button.

Disclaimer

This board is open to anyone to talk about any issue they want that bears some relevance to recovery. On occasion we have topics posted that are considered off topic. If you wish to post and off topic discussion, we request that you put in your message title "OT" or the words "Off Topic". Keep in mind that anyone can come to this site and read whatever they choose. If you are concerned about confidentiality, please be advised that on a site such as this, it cannot be guaranteed.

For you, the reader, please keep in mind that we are all adults. The content of someone's post may stir up uncomfortable feelings. We do not censor anyone from saying what they need to say, provided your message does not flame or degrade others and is within the code of conduct that we all agree to, when we join a MSN community. If there is content that you feel may trigger a relapse or intolerable feelings, please tell us so that it can be addressed in order to help you through the situation.

Our first committment is to our own recovery. We all need to take responsibility for what we say as well as what we need.
