Dear Group,

There are some changes to the way the group will work for a little

while. has been overdoing it and has had a relapse of

sorts. She needs to take some time right now for herself to ensure she

stays well. For the time being we'd really appreciate it if you could

take note of the following:

• Anyone who has already been working with her currently should write

privately.

• To anyone who would like consultations please write privately,

follow the procedure that is in the files.

• To anyone who has previously sent private emails to please

re-send your emails, it is too much work for to go back over

so many days to try and find email from group people.

• Please note that whilst is unable to be fully involved

with the group, may I remind people NOT to try and answer complicated

drug questions and withdrawals. Whilst we appreciate everyone is just

trying to help one another it is not safe. is the only

person qualified to correspond in this way. For any new people who

arrive please everyone welcome them and emotionally support them but

for the technical parts refer them to the files. It is fine to say

" I'm sorry I cannot answer your question " ; this is far better than to

try and put someone in a difficult or dangerous position.

• To new members, you will find consultation forms for private

consults in the files. If you would like a private consultation with

please follow the process that is described there. Private

consults really are advised strongly if your case is complicated and

multiple drugs are involved.

moment so we ask that you are patient. People will be taken as they

come with the information forms filled out (they are in the files).

Emergencies will be considered and if possible moved to the top of the

list.

We appreciate everyone's effort in pulling together to make this work

as efficiently as possible.

On behalf of , thanks everyone.
