Sharing experiences can help with supporting someone you care about who has an alcohol or drugs problem. You can post if you are looking for support, interested in any of Scottish Families services or if you simply want to talk to someone – we recommend starting in the ‘Newbies Corner’ so you can introduce yourself to our online community.
