Lucy Rocca: Building Soberistas, A Lifeline for Those Seeking Sobriety
But it's not a requirement to join soberistas, to become sober as soon as you join the site, because I do believe it's a journey and I think getting people into soberistas or any other recovery group is so important so that they can start to make progress on that path towards sobriety.
Imagine waking up in a hospital with no memory of how you got there. That was the turning point for Lucy Rocca, who decided it was time to quit drinking in 2011. Fast forward eighteen months, and Lucy launched Soberistas, a social network that's become a haven for thousands looking to kick the booze.
