We value your privacy and for that reason, we suggest a couple of things. First, while you do need to provide your real name when you register, you do not need to use your real name as a "forum" name (which others browsing the forum will see). You can, if you choose, use some combination of your first name alone or in combination with some other moniker, or you can choose a forum name that is a first namd and a number, or you can call yourself something completely different if you like.
Secondly: Please only have discussions about specific support for your own recovery or about difficulties with your loved on in the appropriate support forum. The other forums are for general discussions related to the topic of the forum and not for seeking help or support - use the sopport forums for that purpose.
Lastly: Because we value your privacy, the support forums where we have more candid and open discussions, are only visible when you are a registered member and logged in. When discussing a loved one, for their privacy, please refrain from using their name. Refer to them as "my son," "my daughter," husband, wife, father, mother, brother, sister, etc., or just "my loved one."
