How to Use the BOOM Community for Support to Stop Drinking Alcohol or Just Slow Down

Welcome to BOOM! We’re Glad You’re Here

If you want to stop drinking alcohol or work toward drinking less, you have found a unique community to help you reach your goals. Our BOOM Rethink the Drink community is based on interacting in a blog-style format. We are all about supporting each other in finding our own way as individuals, not just about counting days together, but literally rewriting our narratives. We are glad you have found us here at BOOM and hope that you will find the solutions that you’re looking for in our community.

Please feel comfortable asking any questions you may have either in a post to the community or here by private message – Administration Private Message Box.

Start Here

Jump right into the conversation here . You can talk to us in a quick post or article format. If you have any questions about how to do that please check out this video and article from Mighty Networks our host.

Please post often. ( this explains posting  How Posting Works )

You can write as much or as little as you’d like in your posts. Start by telling us why you’re here. What do you hope to achieve?  The more you share the more you’ll learn about yourself and the more we’ll be able to offer support and ideas. We’re a real give-and-take community. If you spend some time here daily reading and writing you will find that you begin to figure out what you need to do and how to do it.
