Getting sober is a lifelong process for most people. I am a member of alcoholics anonymous, an incredible community but one that discourages talk about about politics (we don't want to alienate people based on their politicial views).

Having a space to talk about sobriety and how it relates to my political life is important for me, and probably is for other leftist who are trying to stay sober. I would like to see a community here where people can talk about their addiction, find help, and vent about being sober in left spaces. I don't know if anyone else here sees a need for that, but it would be a nice community to have in the future.

I like the name /c/CombatAlcoholism but don't like that it doesn't include other drugs and addictions.

    I like CombatAddiction.

    It's important to figure out how to operate in a capitalist world while staying sober. It's been a tough ride for me so far, but i keep going knowing that I'm personally of no use to the left if I'm constantly drunk.
