Laz, judging by some of the dumb responses to this idea, I'd think twice about it, were I you. I'm afraid revealing those "addictions" would just give some posters fodder with which to flame people. I personally would not post personal stuff like that, which could be turned against me. Imagine if there was an "I had an abortion" thread. Any woman who admitted that would be attacked forever on the forum. JMHO

Excellent point. What if we were to hold it in this fashion: That people are advised not to reveal the subject of their addiction? That way, the rest of the forum wouldn't know if they were a caffiene addict or a intravenous heroin user.

Hey Laz, Congrats on your first year! I have mixed feelings about your idea. Have you run this by your 12 Step sponsor? Maybe he can give you some suggestions.

It will make it difficult to rail against heroine druggies, if heroine is equated to tobacco!

But, that might be your intention.

Halts the hyprocrisy.

IMHO...My G_d, family, soon to be wife, and my friends all know and have forgiven me for my former problems.

If there are those here that want to stand in judgement, that's their issue, not mine.
