READERSHIP SURVEY

Answer Questions. Win Stuff. 📝🎁Help Shape the Future of The Sober Curator in 2026

We’re always curating sober pop culture with you in mind. But let’s be honest: “with you in mind” only works if we actually know what you want more of. (And less of. And never again. And immediately, please.)

That’s why we created The Sober Curator 2026 Readership Study. It’s a quick survey that helps us understand what’s landing, what you’re craving, and how we can better serve this wildly smart, hilarious, resilient community we love so much.

And yes… we made it worth your while.

SOBER SLOGAN OF THE DAY:

My all-time favorite sober slogan is "Idle hands are the devil's playground," because my brain is a five-star resort for that little red-horned bastard. The second I sit still, he's checking in with a full list of to-dos: I’m gossiping about others and for sure judging them, doom-scrolling my exes' Instagram stories, and "just one quick online purchase" that somehow totals $800. Keeping my hands busy isn't some noble pursuit, it's straight-up self-defense against the unhinged devil jerkoff who lives rent-free in my head. Honestly, in recovery, this slogan isn't motivation; it's a sarcastic public service announcement screaming, "For the love of God, find a hobby before you ruin your life again." I have this baby on repeat when I find myself bored and looking for 'action'.

-Want more sober slogans? How about 365 more + daily reflections, a little dose of  humor and a prayer to get you closer to HP. Download Sober City App on the App Store and Google Play - it's completely free to download and use.. You'll be a happier sober sinner!!! -Chris Rosburg, Sober City

Friend Request Podcast: Let’s Talk Dry January! (2023)

Friend Request is not a podcast that’s new to sober stories.

To celebrate the pop culture staple of Dry January this month, though, every guest on the podcast is sober. Whether it’s the inspiration you’re looking for or just comradery, you are sure to find a story you’ll relate to on some level each week.

SOBER POP CULTURE

The Sober Revolution: How DNA, Pop Culture, and a New Generation Are Rewriting America’s Relationship With Alcohol 

The numbers tell a story that Hollywood couldn’t script better: Only 54% of Americans now drink alcohol — the lowest figure since Gallup began tracking in 1939 [1]. For the first time in history, a majority of Americans (53%) believe that even moderate drinking is bad for your health [1]. This isn’t just a statistical blip; it’s a cultural earthquake that’s reshaping everything from TikTok feeds to boardroom conversations, from celebrity Instagram stories to the very DNA tests sitting in our medicine cabinets.
