I met MJ though mutual friends and stopped by his new home in central Boca for some coffee and a chat. We discussed sobriety and our journeys that led us from rock bottom to living with purpose. As a recent transplant from the northeast, MJ shared about his time in the big cities, his other businesses in the clothing industry to what led him to create LOOSID. LOOSID is a free sober app that includes a sobriety tracker, sober community, daily gratitude, sober tips and more originally founded in 2018 and grew during the pandemic. It also has a sober dating feature for a monthly cost that connects sober singles to meet without the stigma of drinking surrounding it all.
MJs story is like most alcoholics and addicts. His sobriety date is March 21, 2012 and his rock bottom led to his admittance of needing help and following through with the program and fellowship of AA. During his early sobriety he met a woman who's family had been struggling with addiction and rather than open multiple treatment centers that could only help a small amount they created LOOSID to connect and grow a sober community across the globe.
His story is relatable and the process of following a passion to connect as many sober individuals will be the legacy of LOOSID.
