Hi everyone, We’re excited to welcome you to our brand new Quit Drinking Community on Skool. This platform is already huge in the USA and is gradually gaining popularity in the German-speaking world. You’ll quickly understand why Skool is on such a winning streak once you get familiar with it after a few days here. First and foremost, Skool provides us with the ideal space for lively interactions. We can discuss, share our experiences, upload photos and videos, and much more. 👉👉 If you get stuck at any point, just post your question as a comment under this post. I’ll respond as quickly as possible! Here’s a quick guide to the key features: 👉 Commenting You can comment on any post at any time (see first image). At the bottom, you’ll find a field labeled “Your Comment.” Just type your message there and click the yellow “Comment” button when you’re done (see second image). 👉 Replying You can also reply directly to another member’s comment. Just click “Reply” under their comment. This opens up the input field again, and the author of the comment you’re replying to is automatically tagged. They’ll get a notification about the new reply and can respond directly as well—this helps create a lively discussion. 😀 Don’t hesitate—give it a try! 💪 👉 Liking ❤️ This one’s super easy 😁 If you like someone’s post, click the thumb icon below it—just like you would on Facebook (see third image). Here’s a tip: don’t hold back with your likes, as the more you give, the more you’ll receive. And the more likes you collect, the faster you’ll level up and gain access to bonus content ❤️ 👉 Creating a New Post If you’d like to start a new topic, share your experiences, or ask a question, create a new post. At the top, you’ll see the field “Write something” (see fourth image). Click there to enter a title, write your post, and select a category (“Select a Category,” see fifth image). If you’re introducing yourself, select the category “Introductions”; otherwise, feel free to use “General Topics.” Over time, more categories will be added here.

Hi everyone! Alcohol addiction is an immensely emotional topic, and everyone has their own story: you have yours, and I have mine. This is not about “higher, faster, further,” or about who’s “right.” It’s also not about who has it worse, or who had it worse. Often, it’s not even all the details of our own stories that are most important. What matters is this: We’re all here because alcohol has affected us in some way. And because we all want to do something about it. We’re tired of fearing relapses or dealing with stigma. Often, we’re here because we haven’t yet found a way out of addiction. This community is an attempt to create an open space for exchange and a platform where people can connect with like-minded individuals. 👋 I’m Dennis, the founder of all this. I drank for 22 years and managed to quit in 2019. Since then, I’ve been helping others quit as well. I host the podcast “Soberly Speaking,” offer support through programs and mentoring, and put my face in front of cameras and microphones—all while trying to approach this dusty topic in a fresh way. ☝️ I’m not here to preach to anyone; I just want to spread awareness. And I want to suggest a different mindset, one that worked for me (and thousands of others by now): Moving away from “I CAN’T have alcohol anymore” and towards “Yeah, I NEVER have to drink again!” 💪 This is NOT an advertising platform for my stuff, but, of course, I have my own experiences and opinions. Nevertheless, everyone is welcome to share here, as long as it’s helpful and respects basic human decency 🙌 Let’s virtually join hands and see how we can kick that annoying stuff called alcohol right in the rear! I’m excited to connect with every single one of you! 🤗

Hello, everyone! I’m Dennis, 43 years young, and I’ve been sober for over five years now. I run the podcast “Soberly Speaking,” this community here, and I also offer programs (DryMind) and one-on-one support. My journey and my “method” differ quite a bit from what mainstream medicine usually suggests, but for me, it’s not about a lifetime of abstinence; it’s about genuinely not wanting alcohol anymore. So, moving away from “Damn, I can never drink again” and towards “Yeah, I never have to drink again!” Since 2019, I’ve grown beyond that whole mess, and I try to promote a positive image of a sober life wherever I can. I put my face in front of cameras and microphones, not to preach but simply to spread awareness. I’m looking forward to lively discussions here. And hey: Just because I have my own opinions and am the founder of this platform doesn’t mean I have all the answers ✌️
