To find connection & support and have fun?

I’ve been a non-drinker for quite some time now, yet I still love (and need!) my sober connections. One of the ways to connect with and meet other people who don’t drink alcohol and find support & have fun is to join an ONLINE SOBER COMMUNITY!
So I looked into options for us and was so happy to see this many!! Below is a list of Sober Communities open for you to join! Especially with THE HOLIDAYS coming up, usually a very boozy period of the year, we can all use some extra support & connection, am I ríght?

Tips before joining
Ok, this was them! Here are some tips before picking a community to join:
- If you decide to join a community, make sure to check out the TIMES of the meetings. As they take place all over the world, it’s important to pick one that works with the time zone you’re in.
- In all of these groups, you are welcome to leave your camera off while participating in online meetings if that makes you more comfortable.
- Some groups are for both women & men, and some are open to women only. Just check by clicking on the link if you prefer either.
- A few of these online groups also have local in-person meet-ups. Just check their accounts to see what’s happening and when!
I hope that this overview of Sober Communities will be of help to you. I firmly believe in connection being THE KEY to being successfully & happily sober, and joining one (or more!) of these communities could be a great start!
