dc.description.abstract | This study explores how an online forum is used in recovery from addictive substance use. By doing a content analysis of the forum REDDITORSINRECOVERY, online supports were found to be helpful in providing a space to exchange knowledge based on personal experience. Anonymity was found to be important because it protected against the stigma associated with being a person who uses drugs. | en_US |
