Forum Guidelines

We hope you will feel free to discuss in the forum the challenges of being affected by someone else’s substance use. Personal stories are powerful and can allow people to express themselves, feel less isolated and realise that others are going through similar experiences.

We do not impose a delay between writing your story and it appearing on the website, but this means that stories are not moderated or filtered by Adfam before they appear.

Please do not include anything that can identify you or other people in your story, including names, places of work and specific locations or addresses. Please note that anything that raises a safe-guarding or confidentiality concern may be removed and acted upon.

As this is a forum open to anyone affected in this way Adfam takes no responsibility for the quality or content of the responses.
