[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are probably more recently sober than 20yrs if they are highlighting it as part of who they are[/quote]

I agree, but if you have any chat on the apps I'd just ask "tell me about being sober" or something. [/quote]

Great answer! Why not be straightforward and just ask? Seems better than speculating. [/quote]

+1. I think "sober" means different things to different people. The most basic definition is that they don't drink alcohol, but there are a lot of different paths to not drinking. Not everyone that identifies as sober was a sleeping in the gutter alcoholic that feels they must attend AA every day. I'd argue you could part of a sober community without ever having a problem with alcohol. There's a growing community of people questioning the role of any alcohol in their daily life, as well as how it's everywhere in our society, etc.

I say ask the person and learn about them and why that identifier is important to them if you are interested otherwise.[/quote]
