Love after Sobriety
In this informal conversation, Speaker A recounts how he approached dating after achieving sobriety. He created a sobriety‑focused online persona, initially using the username “Sober Dave” (later “Sober Dave 85”), and primarily used the Scruff app rather than Grindr because he felt a stronger connection with its community. Each time someone identified themselves as sober, he eagerly added them as a friend, emphasizing that appearance or origin didn’t matter—sobriety was the key common ground. To sustain these connections while traveling, he organized a dedicated “sober” folder within Scruff, allowing him to locate and reach out to sober friends in various cities such as Puerto Vallarta, London, and other global destinations. The dialogue highlights the practical steps and mindset involved in building a supportive, worldwide sober dating network.
