Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 71 | The OCF model of support allows people not to have to wait for a monthly meeting, go anywhere, or be in a group that is limited to only a few people. I think you will find your questions answered quickly, support offered openly and readily, and when you are ready to be on the other side of the equation, as the giver of support people appreciative of your experience and help.

You found the right place. Believe me I was one wondering around the internet searching for a quick response site and thankfully Brian found me and brought me over here almost 4 years ago. That was the best part of my recovery!!!
