Welcome to r/stopdrinking!

This subreddit is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by sharing our experiences and stories, telling others what is helping us to overcome our challenges, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

For everyone on the subreddit, and for the sake of your own recovery, only participate here when you're sober. (Why?)

Badges

Here in r/stopdrinking you can get a badge to share with everyone how long you've been free from alcohol.
