My name is Steve. I got sober on August 7, 2020.
I built Still Standing because every sobriety app I tried felt like it was designed for someone else — someone doing recovery differently, or someone who had never needed one. This blog is the honest version of that. What’s working, what isn’t, and what no one thinks to tell you until you’re already in it.
What you’ll find here
Writing on sobriety and recovery — specific, plain, no clinical tone. Not a program. Not a coach. Just someone who’s been at this for a few years now, writing what he wishes someone had told him.
The app exists to support what you’re already doing. Sponsors, meetings, therapy, your people — that’s the foundation. Still Standing is just something to reach for in the moments in between.
Stay in touch
If something here is useful, the best thing you can do is share it with someone who needs it. That’s the whole point.
Thanks for being here.
