Finding the Right Support for Your Journey
Recovery doesn't happen in isolation, and no two journeys look alike. Whether you need intensive, professional guidance or a trusted peer to walk alongside you, we offer two distinct ways to connect:
Professional Sober Companions
PaidWho it's for
Individuals navigating high-risk transitions (such as leaving inpatient treatment), those needing intensive daily accountability, or families looking for structured, professional oversight.
What to expect
Highly trained, vetted recovery professionals who offer tailored plans, trigger management, environmental safety checks, and hands-on, real-time support.
Sober Buddies
Free peer connectionsWho it's for
Anyone looking for mutual encouragement, a friendly check-in, or a relatable peer who truly "gets it."
What to expect
A community-driven, random or matched connection with another individual in recovery. It's built on shared lived experience, mutual accountability, and friendship — completely free of charge.
Choose the level of support that fits your current chapter, and connect with someone who understands.
We’re starting in Los Angeles, but members everywhere can join the community. You choose which recovery details appear to other members.
