During the course of my sobriety journey, I often needed a good laugh or just a little inspiration. Fortunately, I didn’t need to look far. The internet is chock full of funny sober quotes, proud sober quotes, and plenty of quotes on getting sober and staying that way.
There are literally hundreds of pages of quotes to peruse. So I’ve taken the liberty of curating my favorite sobriety quotes to give you a laugh, allow you to pat yourself on the back for a job well done, or find inspiration as you embark upon your own sobriety journey.
I’ve organized this blog into three sections. The first section will highlight my favorite proud sober quotes. The second will pivot to funny sober quotes and I’ll wrap this post with an assortment of getting sober quotes. I will limit this funny and proud sober quotes blog to just five of each, otherwise, it’ll scroll on forever!
Of course, I may be inspired to create more of these sober quote posts just like I was for Dry January. But for now, this is what I’ve managed to pull together.
Feel free to skip around to whichever section you’d like to begin with or read them in order. Whatever you prefer. Download, save, and share as you please.

But, even if you mess up, you can pick it back up where you left off. Just like the old Japanese saying:
“Fall down seven times, Get up eight times.”
Because falling down isn’t the problem. Failing to get back up is. Sometimes we have to fail forward. Just keep after it! I know you can do it!
