Sober dating

 I struggled with sobriety for many years as I didn' know how to stop drinking or how to stop using drugs. I started using a recovery app called Loosid app and one of the people in their sober groups section showed me some AA Meetings near me . I wasnt ready to go, however I was able to find a drug rehab near me and was there for 30 days. If you need addiction help and tips to help you get sober I would suggest going going to Alcoholics anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous (depending on your substance of choice) as they are great fellowships to keep you alcohol free and drug free. I would then encourage you to make connections in Loosid app to expand your community. Now, since the COVID crisis anyone is accessible just by using your phone. Have a great day! Sober Curious

 “Some people identify drinking as, ‘We’re going to have fun’ and some people have the idea, ‘I don’t need alcohol to have fun,’” said Markesha Miller, a therapist based in Columbia, S.C. “That’s an important conversation that needs to happen in the getting-to-know-you stage — making sure your values align and the way couples spend time together aligns.” Everyone has different perspectives about imbibing, which can stem from a variety of experiences and religious beliefs, Dr. Miller said. These views and lifestyles can influence if and how a pair moves forward in a relationship, or even onto a second date. Sometimes sobriety can be a deterrent or catalyst for interacting in the first place. Loosid - The Worlds Most Popular  Sobriety App  &  Recovery App Sober curious

Just under two years ago, my business partners and I had a dream, to create the world’s most comprehensive community for those who choose to, or have a desire to live a sober life. The first thing we needed to do in order to encourage people to get sober living , was to show them the amazing life that can be had in sobriety. We need to show them that sobriety is not the end of fun, but only the beginning. We also felt it critical that we kill the stigma that sobriety is to be ashamed of, but rather show it is one to be celebrated. There is a lot of work to be done, but we hold steadfast in our commitment to building the largest sober platform for people to connect with and with those who share a common bond. Though our experiences are different, the feelings of hopelessness are the same. Here is the story of #loosidapp- recovery app and why we created it. Please share with us your thoughts in the comments below.
