A note from our founder —

Hi! I’m Steph.

I got sober at 21 during my junior year of college, after struggling with alcoholism for as long as I had been drinking (though I didn’t call it that at the time). For years, I stayed in denial, convincing myself that this was just what everyone my age was doing.

When my unhealthy drinking habits became too big to ignore, I first tried to heal my relationship with alcohol on my own, but I stayed stuck in the same vicious cycle:

Drink → feel ashamed → promise myself I’d stop → drink again → repeat.

It was exhausting. And what made it harder was my belief that I was the only person my age going through it.

I eventually realized that if sobriety was going to stick, I couldn’t do it alone. I needed community and to connect with people who understood what I was experiencing without explanation or judgment. I started sharing my story online, and not long after, Steady Sunday was born!

Today, nearly six years later, my life and mental health have improved beyond anything I ever imagined, and I owe so much of that to this community, for showing up for themselves and each other through both the good and hard days.

Steady Sunday has taken many forms along the way, but today it exists as a free Substack community, with a weekly newsletter and free online meetings for those in their 20s and 30s navigating sobriety.

I invite you to engage in whatever way feels right for you, whether that’s reading the weekly newsletter, joining our free meetings, or simply knowing you’re not alone <3
