Dear Mr Scott:It might help to know what you have done already (that seems to not be working for you) and maybe what meds you're on? How depressed do you get? Any suicidal ideation, plans, attempts? How long have you been a user of drugs/alcohol? Anybody else in the family, of course, there usually is. Ever do a detox program?
I saw your post on Admin about another board for recovery. I don't know about splitting the board even further, I think others may object on that point. But recovery, or just general drug and alcohol issues, seems like a 'natural' for a site like PBabble... Much more natural than (IMHO) Faith.
Buck up, sir! And sorry you're having a hard time of it...
