About Sobertown
Sobertown is a growing community of like-minded people in recovery helping others start or maintain their sobriety.
We refer to ourselves as “Sober Warriors” because the fight against addiction is a grisly battle that takes no prisoners. Real people die every day from complications and repercussions of long-term alcohol use, a tragic end that is 100% preventable through increased awareness and connection.
Alcohol is so pervasive and normalized in our culture that it often gets a free pass into our lives when it’s really a cancer-causing drug that can slowly wreak havoc on all states of our well-being: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, environmental, vocational, and intellectual.
But we’re not here simply to shine a light on alcohol’s ugly side.
We’re forming a village of sober individuals from all walks of life that share a common goal - to support others in recovery while also increasing the dialogue around the many positive aspects of sobriety versus the darkness of addiction.

Tea Lover is almost 40. She is an osteopath, educated, has 2 degrees, is in mountain rescue, is happily married and has a good life. However, Tea ended up in the deepest pits of her own personal hell because of alcohol. She went from being a kind happy person, to someone who hated herself and everything about her. She really tried to break free from this prison June 2020 and did manage 3 weeks, then 3 months. But still ended up drinking and had over 70 resets between September and February. This post comes from 6 weeks sober, but 10 months and beyond in the making and in her journey crawling her way out of addiction to this far. For those who didn’t get it, Tea Lover, LOVES tea!
Tea Lover and myself started our sober journey's on IAS at the same time. I've personally watched Tea battle her way through the trenches of addiction. She literally had 70 day zero's in a row and never gave up!
Join us as Tea tells her amazing story!
Tons of love to you Tea!!

Chef56 has been active on the IAS app since October 2019. In real life he works as a history professor, teaching courses in Latin American, African and World History, and focusing on food in history. Between college careers Chef did work as a chef for 12 years, mostly in California, and owned part of an Irish Pub there. The "56" indicates his birth year, so he is going on 65 years old. About a year ago Chef (real name Rick Warner) joined forces with several other app folks to launch zoom meetings for app friends, eventually growing to four meetings per week.
Also Chef56 is a Pillar in the IAS app and his local community.
Thanks Chef for all you do!!

Hi this Polly just a little about me. I have a background in communications in the Healthcare Industry and also Installations management of new hospital construction. I have now retired to care for my disabled husband who is a Vietnam Vet .

Hi 🙋🏻♀️ I am Corinna. I am 56 and picked up my first drink at the age of 12. I was medically retired in 2020, following 37 years of mental health nursing. I have a 24 year old son and drank heavily (daily) for 22 years of his life. I quit drinking in August 2020 and have been fully present for my gawjus grandson, since his birth in October 2020. I absolutely love sobriety and want to share the reality of this with everyone. I am especially passionate about helping parents, with young children, to get sober NOW. Time goes so quickly and, there are so many precious moments to enjoy. I really want that for you all 💖
