Can you promote here?

Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.

Links

No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: story, showcase, discussion

Post in first person, short to medium length (one to a few paragraphs), open with a milestone or candid confession (e.g., ‘30 days sober’, ‘going to rehab’). Tone: vulnerable, grateful, humble — celebrate progress or ask for support. Photos or chips are common. Do NOT post promotions, solicitations, or product pitches; ask mods before any self-promo.

Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/alcoholism's rules page before posting anything that matters.

Thread Otter checks this before every send

These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
