Hey all,

Seems like a small community here. Happy to join! I came over from reddit. They removed a post of mine “marked as harassment” I was clarifying two earlier comments in the thread lol. I even read through their policy and nothing in my comment applied.

I’m on day 88 of not drinking and will not drink with you all today!

    That’s what got me here! I had been going to r/stopdrinking for over a decade (almost 2 years since my last drink today) and i just can’t take all the rules they’ve added recently. It used to be the only place i could find to go and openly discuss what does and does not work, but that’s not the case anymore… it’s a very small community here but i keep coming back hoping to help make it a bigger one where people can discuss what does and does not work for each individual. Glad you have arrived! IWNDWYT

      Lurk and comment! Throw in the occasional post. Small communities need nurchering to grow.

    Well done. I don’t know how you feel about meetings but you should find one and get your 90 day coin. Sometimes having a visual reminder of your progress can help keep up your motivation.

      I’m just in here from all and I have no experience with this stuff except to say my uncle hangs onto his coin like it’s a lifeline. It’s a 17 year coin, though he’s close to 30 years now I think, but that was the last one he got and he carries it with him everywhere and it means the world to him.

      So yeah, get a coin OP.

    Good for you! Nice to see some more people trickling into this community, I feel that it’s the type of community that Lemmy can do so much better than Reddit ever did, because people on here seem to care more and have a greater sense of solidarity.
