New week, new chance to do this the right way. If last week was messy, good—messy means you showed up and you’re still here. This week we’re keeping it simple: stay honest, stay connected, and take it one day at a time. You don’t need motivation—you need a plan. Before the week starts, drop a quick check-in: How many days sober are you? What’s your biggest trigger right now? What’s ONE thing you’re doing this week to protect your sobriety? If you’re feeling shaky, say it. If you’re feeling strong, say that too. Either way—don’t do it alone. Always forward. 💪

Hi everyone — my name is Joshua Rivera. I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict, and I’ve been clean for over nine years. I’m not a clinician and this isn’t therapy — I’m just someone who’s been through it, lived it, and came out the other side. I created Sober Connect — Talk to Someone Who’s Been There for one reason: so you don’t have to do this alone.Early sobriety can feel isolating, confusing, and heavy… and the fastest way to get stronger is to get connected. Here’s what you can expect in here: - Real talk (no sugarcoating, no judgment) - Daily accountability (simple check-ins that actually help) - Support + connection (friends, not fluff) - A place where we focus on progress, not perfection If you’re new, start right here in the comments: 1. How many days sober/clean are you today? 2. What’s one thing you’re struggling with right now? 3. What’s one thing you want out of this community in the next 7 days? And if you’re in crisis or feel like you might harm yourself or someone else, please call 911 (or your local emergency number). This group is support, but it’s not emergency services. I’m glad you’re here. Seriously.Let’s do this together — always forward. 💪
