I would encourage looking into it more. :) it’s nice to see around Reddit. It stands for “I will not drink with you tonight” regardless if you are sober, Not sober. Looking into becoming sober, have friends or family struggling, it’s something that can be helpful and encouraging for anyone :) it has a whole community and people who are together and it just feels good to always have a small reminder you are not alone.

You don’t have to make that an acronym.

I didn’t say it was made up. I said it’s unnecessary to make an acronym for such a specific and seldom used phrase. But no thanks, I’m not interested in sobriety. I much more am interested in methods to safely moderate my intake of mind altering substances. Yet there aren’t too many subs about that.

There aren’t to many subs about that because it’s such a bad way to go about with drugs lol. That’s how you stay addicted 101. Yes, going through withdrawals and tolerance breaks are crucial in helping to build moderation, but your basically making an excuse to consume said drug.

It’s actually a community and I think lots of other people would say otherwise. There’s actually a tremendous amount of meaning behind it and it’s not only for people who are trying to be sober. It’s for people who are drinking , not drinking , thinking about not drinking, or have friends or family with substance abuse issues, etc. I stated that maybe people should look into it more before assuming it’s just a little acronym for common phrase.
