In June 2024, Sober Livers launched with great success as a groundbreaking organization for people with alcohol use disorder and alcohol-associated liver disease. Many seeking support from those who’ve walked a similar path discovered something powerful—they are not alone.
At Sober Livers, we offer two types of virtual gatherings to support our community. Our Open Discussion Meetings provide a safe, judgment-free space for people with ALD, transplant recipients, and care partners to share experiences, challenges, and encouragement with others who truly understand. Our Education Sessions, held monthly, feature trusted experts in hepatology, mental health, addiction medicine, and more—offering practical information, tools, and insight to help navigate life with ALD and transplant with greater confidence and connection.
In between our monthly meetings, our participants have access to a private Facebook group where conversations started in our zoom meetings can be continued and expanded. Participants are encouraged to engage in lively conversation about a variety of topics and provide non-medical support to one another.
Although Sober Livers is not a substitute for addiction recovery programs and regular doctor visits, we have a strong, nationwide group of medical and mental health professionals. The WHAC can provide answers to some general questions that Sober Livers facilitators are not comfortable answering.
The need is evident, and we cannot do it alone! Please consider make a tax-deductible donation to Sober Livers today!

Sober Livers' mission is to empower individuals diagnosed with alcohol-associated liver disease(s) (ALD(s)) and those who have had a transplant due to alcohol, by supporting them in discovering and embracing their personalized alcohol recovery journey, while offering guidance through the complexities of managing their liver condition.
Our vision is to drastically decrease excessive drinking in this country and eliminate the stigma associated with alcohol use disorder and
all liver diseases.
No human diagnosed with alcohol-associated liver disease(s) or has had a transplant due to alcohol should endure the complexities of this journey in solitude; Sober Livers is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where individuals are empowered to reclaim their agency, fostering their unique alcohol recovery pathways and navigating the intricacies of their condition with the compassionate support of peers, mentors, comprehensive education, and access to
essential external resources.
