Sober Trend is a brand new clothing shop where you can buy sober branded clothing pieces. We have a range of t-shirts, hoodies and tank tops in different colors and styles.
Here’s a pic of our Sober & Proud shirt in white. It’s one of my favorites
It’s a bold statement, but it’s also freeing. I see this quite a lot. People are ashamed of their recovery. It’s understandable, but I wish it was not the case. It’s part of the reason that Sober Trend was born: to show the world that addiction recovery is a good thing.
I wouldn’t wear these clothes, not because I’m ashamed of my recovery…it’s because I don’t want to brag (ego) and because my sobriety is personal. (spiritual growth) I’d prefer to choose who I share it and discuss it with. I’d prefer to wear a symbol that other sober know what it means rather than a shirt that’s says “look at me, I’m SOBER”
I do think its a Great idea. Everyone do have an opinion on this subject, which to me is totally fine. I would wear something like this. By that im not Brag. For me its a statement.
I actually like the “Keep calm and stay sober” shirt, but it’s more I like that line of Keep Calm shirts. You’d think there would be a copyright on that.
I got the “hangover free” and “one day at a time” those seemed the most subtle. And mostly alcoholics and addicts would only get that. There’s no way I would get sober and proud. Lol that would be outright bragging and bringing uneeded attention to myself. Haha
Yeah Some are pretty bold and others are more subtle. The “growing stronger everyday” is another example of a subtle one. People won’t really know what it means (maybe you’re working out?), but you’ll know.
I shattered my back in 2011,after anesthesia wore off & surgeon came in told me not sure I was ever going to walk again, grit my teeth told myself one day at a time. After 1 week grabbed a walker someone left in the hall 2 weeks later walking to nurses station. The mind decides what we can or can’t do! Love that T-shirt
I’m not going to write a novel, but after leaving hospitals they had me on strong doses of oxis,like a lot of us. Plus picked up my drinking to 30pks regularly. So that phrase is working now. 112 days straight
A close friend of mine went through something very similar. She shattered her spine and had three back operations done - also with no guarantee that she would ever be able to walk again. Today she’s recovered and living a completely normal and healthy life.
Luckily for her she did not get addicted to any of the painkillers they gave her, but it could have easily happened. The “One day at a time” and “Growing stronger every day” ones were actually inspired in part by her struggle
Thank you Robin, I’ve always been told I was stubborn. I left out that I developed cancer 2½years later,I got used to the fight. But staying sober ranks right up there. Stay strong & take it one day at a time!
Hopefully I’ll be there soon.
