Goals

I feel like people on this sub really prioritize celebrations of sobriety. Helping people seek sobriety is an afterthought. It would be amazing if the sub did a sponsor system with different categories.

People need help. Reading about how you resisted a marg at a work event after being sober for three years is awesome! Take that energy and help someone who isn’t there yet!

Rather than complain, What is the change you would like to see? What is the best way to accomplish this goal?

I see so many helpful posts here, the community is always helpful and uplifting when people ask for help. Just sort by newest and look around. I cant agree with you on your perception of the sub.Daily checkin, e cetera, always people offering help.

From what I've seen when people post about an upcoming event or activity they're concerned may be triggering they do get support and suggestions.

A big part of this sub is celebrating milestones.

I would advise anyone who feels inspired to post messages here like "I think this sub should do X" or "I think this sub is not Y enough/too Z" without giving specific examples, to take that energy and use it to be the change they want to see.
