  • So, so tired of that rhetoric. Trump is a POS, I don't need 'orange man' content to know that. He's definitely on the top ten worst presidents list. You automatically qualify for that list when you foment an insurrection.

  • 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.

  • I'll start off.

    Hello everyone, I'm Kvasir and I'm an alcoholic. I had a real tough couple of years. My fiance died and I hit the bottle hard to numb the grief and the pain of losing her. I drank more in these past two plus years than I ever have before.

    It was an everyday, all day type of madness that culminated in the second worst day of my life after her passing from a terrifying first encounter with delirium tremens hallucinations.

    From that moment on the desire to drink was forever taken (blessedly!) from me. I have just two weeks so far, but these two weeks are the greatest I've felt in years and each day keeps getting better as I go.

    I hope everyone who comes here finds a sanctuary that they can use to explore new tools and strategies to deliver them into the life truly want and need. Thank you all for joining this little digital nook. I hope you enjoy your time here ;)

    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 ;)

    • Keep things respectful and civil, recognize everyone is on a different stage of their recovery.

    • Solidarity is key! Respond with kindness and empathy to your fellows in their struggle.

    • There's room for venting frustrations but try and keep things focused on the positive, meaningful changes we can make to impact our lives and others.

    • No glorifying drug and alcohol usage and no 'war stories' (addiction escapades), unless warranted by the context of the topic at hand.

    • All addictions are welcome, this is a safe space for those trying to sober up from ANY substance.
