On reddit, stopdrinking seems to be a support network for people who are in the process of quitting drinking, and for folks seeking and giving support for maintaining sobriety. Is that the same goal of this community here?
Something I never found on reddit was a sub for alcohol-free living that was not a support sub – a place for memes, jokes, mocktail recipes, more silly/casual gripes.
What do folks here think about a community like that on Lemmy? I wouldn’t want to overly fragment an alcohol-free community, but also wouldn’t want to use a support sub for that kind of content.
Good point about living. I quit alcohol 5 years ago, and used SD every day to get me through it. Now I’m just interested to chat with other people who live alcohol free. Think it would be good to separate the two.
Yeah, I definitely feel the same way. Like, I don’t know if this makes sense, but the joy of living alcohol free without it being in the context of providing support to people who are struggling? Sometimes I’m in the space to visit the difficulties of not drinking, but sometimes I’m just not. The separation for me feels kinda like, “stopdrinking,” and “notdrinking.” Does that make sense?
It seems like our opinion is the minority so I’ll probably wait a bit and see what happens :)
Totally agreed! Makes sense.
It’s all still pretty small here, let’s first see how it goes.
