It has. Just knowing that there are other ppl who get it helps. Advice, asking for support is sometimes hard to do face to face, but is easier for me here. Seeing what works, knowing that what I’m experiencing is normal. It all helps. That said, I would not rely on this as my only sober tool. I also read, go to meetings, meditate, do active behavior modification etc. This is a tool that helps to keep me sober, so I use it.

I have received incredible advice and support from this site. I was sometimes stubborn and resistant to any advice but eventually I was able to try a few things due to the loving support. This site is the reason why I’m now 13 months sober.

This forum and the people on it have helped save my life. Literally and figuratively.
I spent my first days sober glued to this place, reading their experience. Doing as they suggested, taking what worked for them and leaving the rest. Working through things one day at a time and sharing their laughter, strength and wisdom. For sure my old thinking didn’t work.
Before that I was a swirling pool of negativity. Caught up in a feedback loop of drinking.
Now life looks very different. In what I learned here also discovering a whole new community of others in my own backyard who helped show me how to live differently, think differently.
So I think it’s pretty rad. And I keep coming back.

This community saved me! I tried to quit drinking many times on my own but I just couldn’t make it happen. I stumbled upon this community and learned what it meant to be in recovery. I am 469 days sober and never felt better!
I’ve even met several members of this community! It’s been the best thing for me.
But like with anything in life, you get out what you put in.

This app helped save my life…and led me to some of the dearest friends I have ever had. I came ooking for advice on how to make it through a day without alcohol, and I found that. I also found stories of people actually living sober lives…and I wanted what they had. Over 20 months later, I still check in every day for the a countability, the community, and the chance that I might share some of the experience, strength, and hope that was so freely given to me.
Glad you are here!
