Welcome to Ask an Addict

If I had to use one word to describe our members, it would be the word compassion. (sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it)

This site is intended to provide addiction support and advice in a non-judgmental way so that the addict or anyone else that's been affected by an addict will know there are many who understand and eliminate the feeling of being alone. Ask an Addict knows it may be hard to talk with family and friends as many times they just don’t understand. Many have fractured those important relationships in life during active addiction. When it comes to seeking information, likeness, and establishing a strong recovery program who better to ask then someone who has been there! At Ask an Addict we listen and learn, together. Whether your an addict, a recovering addict or have been affected by an addict, we all have that common denominator of addiction.

 If you use a pop-up blocker, be sure to adjust the settings so that you can receive pop-ups from this site. The pop-up is used when other members send you instant messages or invite you to member chat. There will never be any pop-ups for advertising or spam! Feel free to ask questions, give advice, read confessions or check out our members creative corner page. Doing this will let you see how much we all have in common. You are not alone! New members, please read the Helpful Hints section to make navigation of the site easier and to learn of all it's features and options.

The Reason for this Photo Usually on this site, people rarely comment on their profile photo/avatar. I have chosen this one of Mother Teresa and my daughter for a reason. When we were living in Rome (where T. was born), we had the opportunity to meet Mother Teresa @ the convent of the Missionaries of Charity after 6 AM mass at their chapel. There are many photos like this. Mother Teresa loved children, although she was obviously not physically a mother. Often when my daughter was "out there" with her meth addiction, I would say, "Mother Teresa, you worked your whole life for the poorest of the poor. Right now my daughter is the poorest of the poor..physically, mentally, emotionally, materially". Please find somebody to help her too. So in this photo, in Mother Teresa's sainted hands, she is still pure and innocent. I have to hold on to the belief, that however long it takes, she will someday return to that state.
