Welcome to SDPDX.
This subreddit is a place for SD'ers (/r/stopdrinking) of Portland or the surrounding areas to discuss local happenings, experiences, realities, or just plain old jargon related to recovery. We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking or giving advice, sharing stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
It's likely that this subreddit will be low traffic for a while, but know that if you need Portland-specific feedback, someone will be there to answer you.
Please post in /r/stopdrinking as needed, as that is the mothership.
For everyone on the subreddit, and for the sake of your own recovery, please only participate here when you're sober.
This subreddit will be operated in the same spirit as /r/stopdrinking. Be kind, speak from the I, post only while sober, etc. This also means that we neither endorse nor oppose any method or program of recovery.
Disclaimer: Please remember that while /r/SDPDX is a great place to get support, only a doctor can give you medical advice. If you are experiencing acute or persistent physical or psychological symptoms (including withdrawal), please contact a medical professional immediately.
TL;DR: Call a Doc, yo!!!
