About Still Standing

Why this exists

My name is Steve. I'm sober since August 7, 2020.

In early recovery I downloaded every sobriety app on the market — some more than once. They were either a chrome counter that felt like a countdown to failure, a glossy wellness brand that didn't seem to understand the actual day, or a clinical tool that felt like a chart in a hospital room.

None of them felt like they were built by someone who had been in the chair I was sitting in. So I built one.

What Still Standing is

Still Standing is a sobriety tracker. The basics: a day counter, a place for your Why, a private Support Circle of the people you actually call when it gets hard, and milestone markers that aren't confetti.

It's not a community feed. It's not gamified. It's not a substitute for a sponsor, a meeting, or a therapist. It's the tool that sits next to those things and helps you stay grounded between them.

What this blog is

Honest writing about sobriety from someone living it. Cravings, mornings, the night being the hardest part, the awkwardness of explaining yourself at a wedding. The things nobody warns you about. What helps. What doesn't.
