Normalizing Sobriety 

By talking openly and honestly about sobriety we chip away the shame and stigma associated with it.

sober

means you're not being affected by substances like alcohol or drugs

sobriety

is the state of being sober

normalizing sobriety

allows for more acceptance and helps remove stigmas around drugs, alcohol, and addiction. You do not need to “have a problem” or “be addicted” to normalize sobriety.

People choose to be sober for many reasons like fitness, religion, mental wellness, and saving money. Some people choose to be sober for a month, or a year, or the rest of their lives.

sober curious

refers to being curious and questioning ideas around substances like drugs and alcohol and being mindful of personal consumption. Sober curious encourages a sober lifestyle but is for everyone regardless of whether they choose to be completely sober. It encourages reflection and aims to normalize sobriety.

"No thanks"

should be the end of the conversation. But if you feel nervous about saying no to a friend or peer, we've got a few conversation enders for you below.
