Greetings, blue light from Toronto. New here :)

[Baron27]

Hello everybody I've been reading blue light forums for the last decade or so and I'm happy to say I've finally registered. I have extensive experience with drugs and knowledge of harm reduction. I developed an addiction when I was 21 and have been on methadone for the past 5 years for opiate dependence. My aim is to educate others about how to be as safe and responsible as possible with substances. I don't want others to make the same mistakes I have. If I can prevent just a single person from unintentionally causing self harm or addiction, that to me is a huge accomplishment. It's information that I can't simply keep to myself any longer. An addiction can be a traumatizing experience and obviously can ruin lives. I truly believe educating young/inexperienced people experimenting with drugs with accurate advice regarding harm reduction in a non judgmental way could be enough to change a persons outlook on life, could prevent an addiction or even a death.

I look forward to being a part of this community hope I can help.

Hiya Baron27,

Congrats on no longer being a lurker but being a poster.
Feel free to ask any questions.
There's three recovery forums; The Dark Side, Sober Living and Mental Health.
There's also Other Drugs and a sub-forum called Healthy Living.

Take care,
Evey
