Private Non-Profit Alcohol-free community
Quit Drinking Today: Your Alcohol-Free Journey Starts HereEmbrace the power of accountability and connection in Café RE’s private online community to quit drinking and live the alcohol-free life you’ve been dreaming of.
As a 501c3 non-profit, our mission is simple: to cure addiction. Believe it or not, addiction is a modern phenomenon that represents a society living out of balance. Café RE is about restoring, and recovering who we are meant to be. When this is done, the urge to drink fades.
It’s time to ditch the booze, get accountable and be the best version of you.
You’ve tried all the moderation techniques and told yourself you would quit drinking more times than you can count.
Yet somehow, you are stuck in a cycle of day 1’s and might find yourself searching for things like sobriety podcasts in a desperate attempt to carve a new path for yourself.
We’ve been there – it sucks – but there is a way out.
Whether you want to learn how to quit drinking for a month, or a year or are simply sober curious, you’ll find the support you need to reach your sobriety goals inside Café RE.
In Their Words
You don’t have to do this alone (scrap that, you shouldn’t try to do this alone)
Imagine being surrounded by people who understand what you’re going through because they’ve been there too. No judgment, no hiding, and no explanation is needed. Just open, honest conversations with others from across the globe who have the same goal: to learn how to live an alcohol-free life.
This is the power of Café RE 🤜 🤛
Quitting drinking alone is next to impossible. But quitting drinking alongside a community of like-minded individuals working together to achieve a new life of sobriety? It’s not a matter of ‘if’ you’ll quit drinking, but ‘when’. And, get this…it doesn’t have to suck.
In fact, it’s going to be a lot of fun. Seriously, buckle up. This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime.
Real talk: Trying to drink away your problems is not helping (but you already knew that, didn’t you?)
While there may have been a point in your life where it felt like booze was giving you some form of relief, it’s not working anymore, is it? If it were, you probably wouldn’t be reading this or Googling things like “Do I have a drinking problem?” or “How to know if I’m an alcoholic,” would you? FYI, this is how we all started.
No shame. We. Get. It.
But wouldn’t it be amazing if you could look back on this day as the one where you finally did something about it? Café RE’s core function is to connect you with like-minded individuals looking to ditch the booze in a supportive, stigma-free space – because to truly embrace life without alcohol, we need support. Full stop.
An AF Community With History
Members have been connecting in Café RE since 2015 and many members have been with us for years. Follow in the footsteps of those who have already ditched the booze.
A Space That Embraces All Pathways to Sobriety
There is no right or wrong way to quit drinking, and all of us are different. Join our in-house AA meetings, Recovery Dharma, or general discussion meetings. We embrace all modalities!
A Chance to Give Back
Our sober community is primarily peer-led. Many members who come in looking for help, eventually help others by hosting chats themselves, spearheading discussions, or even leading initiatives like book clubs and Yoga classes.
That a Life of Sobriety is Possible & Can Be A Lot of Fun
Laughter is the best medicine. Learn practical strategies to get through the tough days & discover just how much more amazing life can be without alcohol.
Meaningful Connections With Other Sober Warriors
The opposite of addiction is connection – that’s what we are accomplishing here. It’s that simple.
A Place to Heal & Release the Weight of Shame
Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces. You’ll find a group of humans who make it feel ok to talk about the stuff you’ve kept bottled up, and realize you’re not alone.

A message from our founder, Paul Churchill
One July evening in the summer of 2014, at 1:55 am I desperately searched for an online community, hoping to find something like Café RE.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find a community, but I did find a Bud Light ad on Facebook and guess what I was drinking moments after.
In that moment, I realized the need for a supportive, stigma-free space where people could connect and share their journeys.
This experience inspired me to create Café RE – a place where you don’t have to face this challenge alone. Here, we believe that quitting drinking is not just a possibility but a certainty with the right support.
Over the years, we’ve built a dedicated team of individuals walking the same path and embracing all different backgrounds. Some follow the 12 steps, some don’t. Our diverse approaches and shared experiences strengthen our community and provide a wealth of resources and support for our members.

Service Projects & The Non-Profit Model: A Commitment to Transparency and Support
Café RE is proud to be a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting those who wish to quit drinking.
Whether addiction is a disease, environmental, or we simply live in a society that normalizes drinking a highly addictive and potentially lethal substance called alcohol, Café RE is a community created to address the mental health crisis of addiction.
We have big goals for this non-profit. Curing addiction is at the top of that list.
Did someone say in-person Café RE coffee shops and petting zoos? We plan to continue bringing addiction outreach to Indigenous and underserved communities in the United States and abroad.
Support the Mission
With over 48 million Americans struggling with addiction, it is not confined to the other side of the street or another neighborhood—it’s in your backyard, or in your house.
When individuals with alcohol addiction heal, everyone in their immediate circle benefits. This interconnectedness strengthens the fabric of our society, making it crucial for all of us to come together.
Even if you don’t struggle with alcohol addiction, your support can make a profound impact & help to build a healthier, more connected community.
