Abstinence - For those in recovery: Does posting on a drug forum help, hurt, have no effect?

[EyesOfTheWorld]

I have noticed that many of our members that are in recovery are also some of our most active posters. I think that's great, but also have been wondering something. Doesn't spending a lot of time, almost every day, on a drug related forum, on which the vast majority of opinion, mine included (but i try to stay respectful of the R&A forums), is strongly pro-drug, cause cravings? SWIM knows that if he quit dope, pills, coke, alcohol etc, and spent a lot of time on D-F, that he would eventually see a trigger of some kind and pick up. He might not go back to active use, but he'd definitely have a relapse.

I guess this question is for those in recovery that actively post in all or most of the forums here, not for the people that stick to the R&A, News and Some For All sections only. Does being an active member of Drugs-Forum help you in your recovery, hinder you or have no effect?
I ask as my buddy SWIM and his Labmonkey may someday wish to get clean. They don't now, but realistically at some point they may. However thay love D-F and wouldn't want to quit posting. Thoughts?
