This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

I’m not up to the task of modding it myself, but fortunately this community seems to be pretty good about looking out for one another. I don’t expect there will be much to moderate while it remains small.

Best of luck with your journey OP, IWNDWYT!

Would be incredible to get this community off the ground. It's the only thing keeping me tethered to reddit for now.

I'm not up to the task of moderating. Wouldn't know where to begin, and my time is stretched thin already.

Have you spoken with the mods over at /r/stopdrinking?

[–] Spacebar 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will mod. Today I am 276 days sober and I was a good contributing member at the old place.

You have just been appointed a moderator

[–] Goldenderp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You made this community while drunk?

[–] Lowered_lifted 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's one of the reasons I am looking for another mod

[–] Goldenderp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am not cut out to be a mod unfortunately. But I'll subscribe and try and cheer y'alls journey to sobriety! How far are you?

Nice! So now you'll make 81 days?

Awesome! You got this, friend. What has you drinking?

Personally i am not drinking months at a time. I've reached a point where i can drink a single beer and then go back to not drinking for a while again, although I've had some crashes over the years. But the interval i can measure in years now. Those crashes were all significant turmoil in my life i couldn't handle... It always took a lot of strength to pull myself out though.

10 years of it has Real Health Consequences :)

[–] Goldenderp 6 points 1 year ago

I know, right? For me it was the realization that what I got out of drinking was not worth the consequences. Ymmv, of course. I am rooting for you to find the right reason to stop drinking. It really isn't worth it.

Hello friend, how have you been doing?

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will be a mod. I’ve been sober since January 2nd. I get my new tablet in a week and once I get that it will be easier for me to moderate than using my phone but starting now works

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 1 year ago

Congrats! I'm at 1 year on July 8th. Counting down!

I have a little mod experience from years ago, happy to help set this up.
