Some ideas, these are not all very original but hey!

1. Built in chat function.

2. Forum.

3. Ability for users of the site to register and setup their own profiles. They could then list any addictions in the profile and search for other people with the same addictions to chat with, by email, personal message etc.

4. Built in blogs for addicts to tell their stories day by day.

I’m no expert when it comes to addictions but I believe that often it can help addicts if they can chat to others with similar problems and these ideas should facilitate that.
