Welcome to the contact page. If you are here, you probably have something on your mind: a story you want to share, a question about recovery, a suggestion for the site, or maybe just a need to connect with someone who understands. Whatever brought you here, we are glad you came, and we want to hear from you.
Unjunkiefied exists for people who are rebuilding their lives after addiction. That includes people in early recovery, people with years of sobriety, family members and friends who love someone in recovery, and anyone who is still thinking about making a change. This site is built on real stories and practical support, and your voice is part of that. Some of the most helpful things on this site have come from readers who reached out and shared what they were going through.
Here are some of the reasons people get in touch, and what to expect for each.
If you want to share your story, we would love to read it. Your story does not have to be dramatic or perfectly written. It just has to be honest. Many readers say that reading someone else’s story was the moment they realized they were not alone, and your experience could be that moment for someone else. When you share, let us know whether you are comfortable with your story being published, whether you would like to use your first name, a nickname, or remain anonymous, and whether there are any details you would like us to leave out. We will always respect your wishes. Your story is yours, and we treat it that way.
If you have a question about recovery, send it our way. It might be about getting started, handling cravings, rebuilding relationships, finding support, or anything else on your mind. We read every message, and while we cannot always reply to each one individually, your questions often inspire future articles that help many other readers too. Please remember that we are not medical professionals, and we cannot give medical advice or recommend specific treatment. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, please reach out to a local emergency service or a qualified professional in your area right away.
If you have a suggestion for the site, we want to hear it. Maybe there is a topic you wish we covered, a resource you found helpful, or an idea for something new. Unjunkiefied grows because readers tell us what they need, and your suggestion might become the next article, guide, or resource that helps someone else. Do not worry about whether your idea is “good enough.” If it matters to you, it probably matters to someone else too.
If you are interested in contributing to the site, whether that is writing a guest post, sharing a resource, or collaborating in another way, get in touch and tell us a little about yourself and your idea. We are especially interested in honest, practical, recovery-focused content written in plain language. We do not publish promotional content disguised as advice, and we do not accept content that makes medical claims or promises outcomes. If your idea is a good fit, we will talk through the details with you.
If you spot an error on the site, or something that does not seem right, please let us know. We want this site to be accurate and trustworthy, and readers are often the first to catch a mistake. Tell us which page you were on and what you noticed, and we will look into it.
A few things to keep in mind when you reach out. First, please do not send sensitive personal information like your full address, financial details, or identification numbers. A first name or nickname is plenty. Second, if you are sharing a story that involves other people, consider their privacy too, and change names or identifying details where needed. Third, be patient with replies. This is a small, passion-driven site, and while we read everything, responses can take time.
We also want to be upfront about what this site is and is not. Unjunkiefied is a support and information resource, not a treatment center, a medical service, or a crisis line. We cannot diagnose, treat, or counsel anyone, and we cannot replace professional help. What we can do is offer honest stories, practical ideas, and a community that understands what recovery is really like. If you need professional support, we encourage you to seek it, and we hope the resources on this site help you take that step with more confidence.
If you are not ready to reach out yet, that is okay too. You can keep reading, keep exploring, and come back to this page whenever you are ready. There is no deadline on reaching out, and no pressure to share more than you want to. Recovery moves at your pace, and so does this community.
Thank you for being here. Whether you are in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just starting to think about change, you belong here. We look forward to hearing from you.
If you have a suggestion for the site, we want to hear that too. Maybe there is a topic we have not covered, a question you wish someone had answered for you earlier, or a resource that helped you and might help others. Reader suggestions shape what we write next, because they come from real life, not from a list of ideas. When you write, it helps to say a little about what you were looking for and what would have helped. You do not need to write a polished proposal. A few honest sentences are more useful than a perfect paragraph.
If you spotted something that needs correcting, please tell us. A broken link, an outdated detail, or a sentence that does not sound right is worth flagging, and we would rather hear about it than leave it standing. The same goes for feedback on tone. Recovery writing should feel honest and kind, never shaming or preachy, and if something we published missed that mark for you, saying so helps us do better next time. You can disagree with us, too. Thoughtful disagreement is part of a healthy community, and we read it with the same care as praise.
You might also be writing on behalf of someone else, or because you are worried about a loved one. That kind of message matters just as much. You do not need to have the right words, and you do not need to know what the next step should be. Simply describing what you are seeing, and what you are hoping for, is enough. We cannot offer personal advice or replace professional support, but we can point you toward the kinds of resources on this site that other families and friends have found helpful, and remind you that you are not alone in caring.
Finally, if you are thinking about contributing more regularly, whether that means sharing a story, writing a guest piece, or suggesting a series of topics, let us know what you have in mind and how much time you have. There is no pressure to commit to more than you can manage, and there is no single right way to contribute. Some readers send one story that helps hundreds of people. Others send a short note that sparks an article. Both matter. Whatever you send, thank you for taking the time. Reaching out takes courage, especially when the subject is personal, and we are grateful for every message that lands here.
If writing feels hard, keep it simple. Start with one sentence about where you are and one about what you need. That is enough to begin a conversation, and you can always add more later. There is no test to pass here, and no expectation that your message be tidy or complete. We would rather hear from you in your own words, however rough they feel, than not hear from you at all.
