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 âhigher, faster, further,â or about whoâs âright.â Itâs also not about who has it worse, or who had it worse. Often, itâs not even all the details of our own stories that are most important.
What matters is this:
Weâre all here because alcohol has affected us in some way. And because we all want to do something about it. Weâre tired of fearing relapses or dealing with stigma. Often, weâre here because we havenât 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.
đ Iâm Dennis, the founder of all this. I drank for 22 years and managed to quit in 2019. Since then, Iâve been helping others quit as well. I host the podcast âSoberly Speaking,â offer support through programs and mentoring, and put my face in front of cameras and microphonesâall while trying to approach this dusty topic in a fresh way.
âïž Iâm 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 âI CANâT have alcohol anymoreâ and towards âYeah, I NEVER have to drink again!â đȘ
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 itâs helpful and respects basic human decency đ
Letâs virtually join hands and see how we can kick that annoying stuff called alcohol right in the rear!
Iâm excited to connect with every single one of you! đ€
