I have struggled with my alcoholism for some time and finally was able to get sober. I'd like to pay it forward and decided to start /c/sobriety for ANY drug/alcohol addiction for those currently or afflicted in the past and ready to nurture and guide newcomers to sober living.

If that's you, please join and help me to grow a wonderful place in the fediverse for sober living. Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to seeing you in our community ;)

Good luck!

There are two other popular sobriety communities, but I don't know of any that are as broad as yours.

Ah, interesting. I searched using the keyword drinking and alcohol as well and those didn't come up. Don't know why. But, yeah, I wanted a much broader community than just drinking seeing how other addictions fall by the wayside frequently. I think we'll be able to carve ourselves a nice little niche for those who need it.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected]
