If you have a suggestion for a name, I'm all for something else.
Cancer has so many different areas also and granted there is lots and lots on the web. I was thinking just generic for the posters that already are members and have their support systems on these forums if/when they have to deal with cancer for themselves or loved ones. My thought was letting members already getting their support here to have a place to go without having to look for new support systems on Cancer only forums.
I've been pretty sick from Med s/e so please excuse my mental absence. I hope my explanations above make sense. If not, please feel free to add anything.
PS I also take my share of narcotics and have never gotten high. That was the last thing I was thinking when I suggested an abuse forum. I'm so sorry.
Trekker....I agree with your requests!!!! Especially Pet forum and Hugs/Kisses smileys......lots of them

Shotspine, you dare doing just fine. I had thought about the Alz. room then someone mentioned Dementia and I hab not even thought of it. the 2 are alike in so many ways, He did put up the A&D Forum today. now I don't know what to say lol I hope people will use it. Many came by caregiver today. Some real urgent needs there. Glad he made that one.
They have an addiction forum, but if you're thinking about meds. we take I know many take them just for the fun of it. I know the street name and price of many on the streat. the price is staggering. Yes indeed, that kind of abuse needs addressing.
I hate to even say it but My DIL is addicted and she has done some really bad things. Has 4 kids and my son, her hubby a policeofficer. She seems to be doing better but she still tskes the pain meds, but son has to dole them out. I know she can't be the only one, you kow? well good luck and I think they will think of itwhen they can do it . take care shotspine, Jo ((((shotspine))))
