The story

Built by someone who
needed it to exist.

Not market-researched into existence. Not spun out of an accelerator. Made during a rough stretch because nothing that already existed was any use.

Straight from me

The honest version.

I've had a rough life, gotten into trouble, and been through a lot. But I've always been passionate about technology and building things. Before building software, I spent years working in construction and millwrighting, solving practical problems with my hands and figuring out how things work.

I've wanted to build online for most of my life. SoberMobi is my chance to bring that same practical mindset to software: make useful things, keep learning, and build a place where people can create, connect, and support each other.

It started with sobriety and money tracking, then grew into a feed, community rooms, Draev AI, the Forever Wall, and tools for creators. Recovery is part of the foundation, but the bigger idea is a community where people can build better lives together.

I'm still building it one step at a time. It won't be perfect, but it will stay focused on being useful, human, and open to what the community wants to make next.

What it's built on

Four positions, and we don't move on them.

Healing isn't linear.

So the tools shouldn't punish you for the days it goes sideways.

Judgement kills progress.

We designed it out on purpose, starting with anonymous posting.

Lived experience is expertise.

Full stop. It isn't a lesser credential than a certificate.

Software should serve you.

Not farm your attention and sell it back to you as engagement.

Who it's for

Probably you, if any of this lands.

You don't have to qualify for anything. There's no intake form.

In recovery — day 1 or year 10
Working through grief, loss, or trauma
Rebuilding financially after the bottom
Looking for meaning you can't name yet
An artist who heals by making things
A parent trying to break the cycle
A sponsor or coach with something to give
Just someone who refuses to stay stuck

Heal. Grow. Move forward.

That's the whole thing. Come in and see whether it's any use to you — it costs nothing and you can leave whenever.
