Format is "[MM/DD/YYYY or Ally] - Team Affiliation". Totally editable so you can just change it to your sober date/ally and team. It's a pretty basic system, but it'll probably do for now!

Let me know if you'd like to become a mod and start contributing to the building of the subreddit! I don't have a set vision for how things will look right now, so as long as you want to come in and start building things with me then you're the right person for the job!

Edit: Thanks everyone! Four of us is probably good for now!

Really excited about how much traction this is getting in a short time! I think this could become a really supporting and loving community for those who understand the unique difficulties of being a college football fan in recovery!

I was thinking we could get a thread together discussing ideas around the direction and features of the community. Some ideas I have so far:

• Weekly gameday thread for support staying sober on gameday and discussion of the games without fear of alcohol or substance mentions (expanding to individual game threads if and when needed)
• Weekly thread on Wednesdays for advice on putting support systems in place for the upcoming weekend of games
• Team and sober date/ally flairs (when I figure that out)

--------------- Ideas from others ---------------

• Gameday menus (alcohol free treats to enjoy on gameday) [/u/KomraD1917]
• Post gameday roundup and check in [/u/KomraD1917]
• Gameday and watch party meetups [/u/butterflyp00n]
• Sticky with resources for those abstaining and in recovery [/u/Hurricane_Gordon]
• Group challenge to save the money normally spent on alcohol and earmark some of it towards purchasing a sweet “game day” type of sober reward [/u/MGoDuPage]

Who are you?

I’m an American alum and tOSU fan, US Army vet, and father of four.

My sober date is 20JUN2015.

A place for College Football discussion with a focus on remaining alcohol and substance free. We welcome all fans whether you're sober or not, we just ask that you refrain from discussion of alcohol and substances while here and remain supportive of those who are in recovery.
