chainbreakers is…

Chainbreakers is a place where friends can get together and just talk. We know that joining a meeting can be daunting so that’s why we pride ourselves in being a break from the norm of traditional meetings. We’re non-denominational too, so any background is welcome.

A little bit of backstory on myself - I have been sober 9 years now. When I was first introduced to meetings - I tried and relapsed, twice. It didn’t call out to me. It didn’t push me like I thought it would. I knew that if I was going to get sober, I had to do it on my own. I was the first of my friends to put down the bottle so it was extremely lonely. I stopped getting invited to places, I was tip-toed around by my peers because “oh, he’s sober now…”. It was extremely isolating. Sobriety is hard. But it does get easier. I started Chainbreakers with a dream and motto: “Don’t go through it alone if you don’t have to”. In the midst of my sobriety, I was also dealing with external issues - new job, child custody court, etc. If anyone understands the chaos of life, I do. Due to my isolation in the early days of sobriety, my goal with CB was to cultivate a space that feels just like kicking back with your homies on a group video call. I know that being around like-minded people is important. We want you to know and feel that you’re not alone in this. The road is tough, but you are tougher.
