Community
If you need somewhere quiet to read, share, or talk anonymously, you are not alone.
This community is here for people affected by someone else’s drinking. You can read quietly, share when you feel ready, or connect with others in a way that feels safe for you.
Please use your chosen alias across all community spaces. You do not need to use your real name.
Choose how you would like to connect
Different people need different kinds of support. You are welcome to take part as much or as little as feels right for you.
Forum
The forum is the main community space. You can ask questions, share your experience, reply to others, or simply read quietly.
This is usually the best place to start if you want support at your own pace.
Private message
If you would rather not post publicly, you can send a private message through the site.
Your message will go privately to Rosie, and you can write in your own time.
This is not a live chat or crisis service. If you need urgent help, please use the support resources page.
Monthly check-in
In future, there may be a small monthly online check-in for community members. This would be optional and informal.
You would be able to use your alias, keep your camera off, and simply listen if you prefer.
Keeping this space safe
This website is for people who may be feeling vulnerable, frightened, confused, or overwhelmed. Confidentiality and respect matter here.
- Please use the same alias across community spaces.
- You do not need to use your real name.
- Please do not share another person’s story outside the community.
- Be kind, patient, and respectful with others.
- If something feels unsafe, contact an admin.
Not sure where to begin?
If you are new here, the forum is a gentle place to start. You can read quietly first and join in only when you feel ready.
