Where would I find most of the drug addiction threads?

Which part of the site?

Have you typed in 'drug addiction' into the search? Also try Mental Health. Sometimes you get them on AIBU too.

Thank you. Scanning the threads now.

Would be better to have a topic no?

I think it is quite niche but you could post a new thread and people will respond hopefully to that whether you are seeking information or support.

Hi Starlight. We don't have a topic for this at the moment, as many folk prefer these threads to be in Chat, where threads are auto-deleted after 90 days.

But obvs we're happy to look at making a topic if there's a lot of demand for one.

I guess if there hasn't been demand.

I suppose I was just looking for a place where the resident experts would be likely to hang out and it was very difficult to find that. Not surprising if people prefer chat I guess.

I've asked a few times, it seems absolutely bonkers when so many people have various addictions, that there is no topic for it, even the alcohol help thread is in relationships.

would love to know the exact reason these problems are shunned by MN.

Oh lordy, we're not shunning these problems. As if

If there's a call for new topics like this, we'll certainly consider it.

We just have to bear in mind that for every thread calling for a new topic, there's another one moaning that we have too many.
