What our community are saying
“When I first got sober, I was desperately lonely. I was sure that there MUST be other women out there like me, who drank like me and hadn’t wound up on skid row, but I didn’t know any in real life. In finding Living Sober, I found those women (and men) and I found the community and connection I’d been looking for my whole life.
The advice, love and acceptance I found on Living Sober literally changed my life.”
"I first joined the Living Sober forum after an especially difficult day in February of 2017, and received immediate support from other members.
The many useful ideas and resources here are very helpful, but it’s the ability to connect with others and share their experiences, their sober lives that means the most to me now. "
"I am very grateful and also very proud to be a member of Living Sober. I can say without reservation that the reason I now have a happy, full and successful life without the desire to drink alcohol, ever, is because of the power behind this site. It is about connection. It is about feeling heard. It is about giving and receiving support – each one just as important as the the other.
We feel safe here. We feel understood. It is such a privilege to be a part of this community."
