Like many of you, I was looking for a counter app. I think I was on day 18 and having a hard time keeping track of my days. I looked for a sober counter and found this app. Didn’t realize it had a community feature right away but was so glad to find it. I read and read and read and realized my struggle was common, that there was a well paved path out of this pit of despair and that it was really hard for everyone. I was happy to no longer be alone in my journey to sobriety. We could suffer together and celebrate together.

Thanks for the thread @Dazercat . I was on day one doing a detox at home too sick to go out to attend an AA meeting but knew for Damm sure I was going back there 
and in my pit of despair I found my home here and posted new topic . I’ve not regretted my decision for a single day (even those who have stressed frustrated and triggered me all have their place and belonging here and I am grateful for them for journeying along with me ) so many have pulled me through the tough days and I know will pull me through many more .Today I’m a very grateful recovering alcoholic and addict

I don’t really remember, but I think I find the sober timer first and later discovered the forum.
Anyway it is five years since now and had been to great help especialy in the first time and during the Corona Lockdowns.

Hi I’ve just started it today. As have been drinking to much the last year. Went from 2 times a week till 3-4 times a week. And was drinking more in those days. Last drink was Sunday 5 days ago. So was looking for something to Keep me of it. As I’m going on holiday next weekend. Found it on playstore. Think just having the app for it to show you how much days you’ve been of it will help. as well as talking to others. Thanks Stevie

I woke up this morning with the shame and regret that usually accompanies an alcoholic bender. I know there are local AA meetings but decided to search the Apple Store for AA and found this app.

I searched for a sober site when I stopped drinking around 10 months ago. I came across a few but never stuck with any of them. Recently I searched again out of boredom and loneliness. Most of my friends are hard drinkers. I’m amazed at the amount I used to drink. That’s pretty much all we had in common. One of them actually expressed disappointment when I told him I don’t drink. So I pretty much fired most of my old friends as friends😄. I’ll find new ones
I found this site and find it helpful and supportive. I hope I can help others on their journey.
That’s what keeps me coming back.

I googled sober community.
Was previously on a different app which went downhill so I left.
