This discussion list is an extremely active list, producing at least 10 messages per day. Most of the discussion revolves around personal experiences with alchohol, drug abuse, Alcoholic Anonymous, or other individual situations. Although it does also include some information that is useful to administrators of nonprofit organizations, such as conference announcements, most of the discussions are reminicent of support groups or philosophical debates over the nature of alcohol or drug abuse. This tends to make this list extremely difficult to use as a means to easily locate usable resources or information.

This discussion list is an active list, about 5-10 messages per day. Much of the discussion revolves around philosophical issues, but it also includes discussions about current publications (books, magazines, and newsletters), as well as information about new electronic resources. Many of the people who post to this list are counselors, psychiatrists, editors, etc., which makes this a very useful list for those working in fields that involve drug abuse.
