Join the Sober Community! 👍

Join the Discussion... Online Community!

We are on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
Hello, friends! 
Just a quick reminder that the Sober Friends Club is more than just a monthly subscription box with sober goodies.  We also want to create an interactive online community where you can connect with other sober friends, share ideas & resources, and support each other.

Have you joined our Facebook group?  We have a Sober Friends Club Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/soberfriendsclub!  There you can interact with other sober friends, post photos, and share the successes and struggles of being sober.  This is a closed group, meaning only other group members can see your posts and all members are approved by our administrative team.  We currently have nearly 100 members so join in the discussion today!

We are also on Instagram!  We love seeing our boxes and products one more time after they leave us!  Be sure to follow @soberfriendsclub for exclusive sneak peeks and updates throughout each month.  Post your own photos of your box and items, and be sure to tag us in your posts to be featured in our Instagram stories!  It's all about sharing the sober experience!

You can also follow us on Twitter for additional updates and product sneak peeks!  Just follow @soberfriendsclb and be sure to tag us in your sober Twitter posts as well!
