Welcome 👋

You might be asking yourself questions like:

What is this platform?
Why was it created?
How do I use it?

This post will cover all of that and more.

What is it

adxict.com is built on Forem, the open source software designed for communities that want to write, share, and discuss content in a central place: it works a lot like Medium or Reddit.

It allows you to:

Publish and share posts
Engage through comments and threaded discussions
Get built-in SEO so your writing is discoverable
Use moderation and community tools
Cross-post content from your personal blog or other platforms
And much more!

Why it exists

Recovery means different things to different people — from substances and behaviors to thoughts, screens, and everything in between. adxict.com is meant to be a space where all of that can coexist — a bridge between different rooms, different voices, and different kinds of healing — so the work can continue to grow and be seen.

Here’s what you’ll find:

A hub for writing, discussion, and community
A platform that respects anonymity while encouraging connection
Support for podcasts, and shared resources

How to use it

Think of this site as your personal recovery blog + community forum combined. Whether you're journaling your journey, sharing tools that helped you, or simply looking to connect with others on a similar path.

Here’s how you can get started:

Create an account → Sign up with email, Google, or other login methods.
Write a post → Share your story, insights, or resources.
Cross-post → If you’ve already written on Medium or a blog, you can copy it here and set a canonical URL so search engines know the original source.
Engage → Comment, discuss, and connect with others in threads.

What’s next?

This is a working draft of a community. Things may feel quiet at first, but each story, post, or podcast adds to the foundation.

If you find value in this platform, consider:

Posting your own writing
Commenting and connecting with others
Suggesting improvements (features, categories, norms)

Oh — and if you’re counting days, months, or years in recovery, you can get a chip 🥳

See you in the comments. ✨

Recovery Chips 🎉

Flex your Freedom:

You’ve done the work. You're still doing it. You didn’t get a certificate. No one mailed you a trophy.

Cool — we’ve got chips instead. Days, months, years — it all counts.

🏅 Want your chip? Here’s how:

Send an email to: chips@adxict.com

OR

Make a post with the #recoverychip tag that includes:

Your adxict.com username
Your top chip statement (like “MARIJUANA ADXICT” or “ALCOHOL FREE”) adxict.com is not affiliated with any anonymous recovery program, so no program names can appear on the chip.
Your time in recovery (like “90 days” or “2 years”)
An optional bottom phrase (like “One day at a time” or something only your weird sober brain would say)
Short description (<150 characters) shown when the badge is clicked on your profile. (like "Now I experience freedom in the absence of my alcoholic media.")

We’ll add a chip to your profile like a little badge of survival. 🎂

Examples:

Why this matters:

Everyone’s got their own version of recovery.

This just makes it easier to see who’s walking what path — and how long they’ve been walking it.
