@Laura
(I'm asking this question my LISTENER account but am embarassed )
I know you're not allowed to talk about medications or say you're intoxicated
but are you allowed to acknowledge it if you use drugs recreationally?
I would not reccomend or condone use, I just want to know if I am allowed to say that I have used drugs recently and talk about experiances with said substances.
Anything I said would, of course, be aimed to help others and (again) would not encourage drug use.
Ie: Mushrooms having an effect on my depression

Interesting question. If you are supporting someone through substance abuse or usage, referring them to a medical professional would be helpful, as every person is different. In these situations, stick to your active listening skills and best practices. Empathy, Open ended quesitons, professionalism..etc. Sharing about an experience you have had in the past that relates to your member can be helpful, however, should be clearly explained and the topic should remain professional at all times.
@Laura
Cool I just wanted to make sure it's okay to say I have used drugs
@Laura I accept the rules and I take the oath.

3 Aim to grow and learn as a person.
4. Show respect and kindness to Group Moderators.
5. Refrain from sharing personal contact information.
6. maintain a confidential atmosphere.
7. Engage in healthy problem solving (I call this being involved in a continuous state of improvement).
8. Use proper conflict resolution skills with every person on this site.

We don't give up.
It is better to give than to receive.
@1Marg1 Liking your fierce dedication! :)
@1Marg1 Thank you so much for the list of things to pledge to. I hadn't found it yet on the site. (I'm a new member: only 2 days. :-D).
That said, on the matter of not setting up second accounts:
I'm trying to AVOID doing that, but have an issue with my phone where it's stuck on the page asking me to set up an account (when I already have one). I put in a Support Ticket, but am wondering if there's another quicker fix out there? Any advice for a newbie?
My workaround has been to access the site off my laptop, but I'd really like to be able to access it off my phone as well!
ANY help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
@SpruceRaven Solved it.
I have noticed that only positive reviews are posted. I find this interrsting.
@1Marg1 It's nice to be reminded of the reasons why we are here!
@1Marg1 Love the post. Staying professional and providing support is so important

@Laura
I agree
I'm thinking about therapy but one on one. The therapy here is probably useful to some but it is the money what puts people off. There's been few people who have signed up and been charged. It's suppose to be three day trail. You shouldn't get charged for that and the therapist should say if they like to continue and give them that option. I know therapy isn't always free it just needs to be explained clearly what people are signing up for.
@TreaureSeekers3 cool I'm in process of asking for some 1 on 1 councilling quite expensive but I'll give it a try. Cool to hear
@TreaureSeekers3
I was suppose to be doing the 3 day free trial but I ended up getting charged the whole $150. I'm so pissed about that. 
They also only message you like once a day if you are lucky. I would not recommend it.
@Paigelovesdogs2 that's absolutely ridiculous . How can a site with having access to therapy help like that when they don't no about it themselves thinking its good way to support people here. It's not cuz people have already found it useless. Have you spoken to the site directly or a mod? If they haven't given you the support what you signed up for you deserve to complain and get a refund or some compensation .like everyone else cuz I've heard people get ripped off to . The site needs to take responsibility
