Nowadays, AA and rehab aren’t the only ways to find your path to sobriety / an alcohol-free lifestyle. There are books (quit lit), sober coaches, podcasts, online sober communities /apps… And there is Instagram!
Today, I’m sharing 14 of my favorite sober accounts by women on Instagram with you. Here we go…
14 Top Sober Accounts on Instagram
@noboozebabes A cool, fun, sobriety-loving account by Shea Gomez – One of the first sobriety accounts that I started following and I had a coffee/cookie with once in New York, she’s truly adorable! Following Shea on Instagram makes you want to quit drinking and start living… immediately!
@therapyforwomen Amanda E. White is a retired party girl-turned-therapist. Founder of the online therapy center ‘Therapy for Women‘, host of the podcast ‘Recovered-ish’ & writer of the brilliant (work)book ‘Not Drinking Tonight’, Amanda posts lots of interesting info on all aspects of the psyche and insights on emotions and feelings.

@happiestsober Madeline Campbell hosts the ‘Happiest Sober’ podcast and the Happiest Sober Hub – An online sober community where you can connect with like minded women. Her Instagram account focuses on the good stuff of sober life. Stuffed to the brim with positivity but keeping it REAL, this is not a unicorn account!

@yoursoberpal Laura Van Antwerp is that person who brings love and laughter to your sobriety. Her relatable and honest account contains beautiful anecdotes and super funny reels. I’ve had the pleasure to meet Laura in person, and she’s just as incredible online as offline, a MUST FOLLOW!
All these accounts have different angles and vibes but the same goal… To help you live your best lives alcohol-free!
Sober Connection is EVERYTHING!
I want to finish today’s blog by emphasizing the importance of community and connection. (Online) SOBER BUDDIES are everything!!!
My experience on Instagram started by following some of the bigger sober accounts, like the ones above, commenting and chatting with different sober peeps allover and by following hash tags like #sober, #sobriety & #sobercurious. It isn’t about the posting. It’s about CONNECTING through commenting and messaging. So anyway, one thing led to another, and suddenly, I was in touch with all these incredible women that I could totally relate to & bond with. It was AMAZING… I didn’t feel like that weird loner anymore who decided to stop drinking in a booze-crazy world –> There are LOTS OF US who are exploring an alcohol-free life!
So my takeaway today is to check out the Instagram Sobersphere: It might just help you to become and/or stay happily sober!

PS2: While Instagram can be a great addition to your sober tools, it is not a substitute for therapy or working with a recovery professional. If you need professional help, plz seek it
