Sober.Buzz the Sober Token spreading the good $BUZZ! Sober.Buzz is the cryptocurrency being developed by alcoholics and addicts in recovery with the goal of creating a global sober community using the $BUZZ token as its foundation.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sober.Buzz is the Sober Token spreading the good $BUZZ. Sober.Buzz is the cryptocurrency being developed by alcoholics and addicts in recovery with the goal of creating a global sober community that supports each other, supports those with the desire to overcome their addiction and supports those supporting loved ones in recovery. Sober.Buzz was created with the intention to help as many people as possible break free from the chains of addiction while believing it’s never too late to live a healthy and sober life with the good $BUZZ.

CEO Josh Case said, “As an alcoholic and addict who has struggled with addiction for years, including three trips to rehabs, I never truly believed I could stop without being completely miserable; I tried so many times. Somehow the thought of not drinking or using was worse than the damage I could do in my addiction. It was only when I understood alcohol and drugs were the improper tools I was using to deal with my mental health issues that I was able to truly start recovering. I am passionate about doing what I can to help other alcoholics and addicts find the same peace of mind I am so grateful others helped me find, so the team and I created Sober.Buzz and the $BUZZ token to be the platform to spread the good $BUZZ.”

The Sober.Buzz team has plans to develop the following token utilities with the communities involvement to spread the good $BUZZ:

Gift Sober.Buzz to family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and strangers as a “Token of Support” spreading the good $BUZZ. These gift Sober.Buzz tokens can then be used to make purchases from the Sober.Buzz store or can be put to other uses.Purchasing Sober.Buzz swag for you and the people you care about whether in recovery or supporting someone in their recovery spreading the good $BUZZ. Sober.Buzz will have clothing and other items which will further bring attention to the good being done at Sober.Buzz.Purchasing Sober.Buzz email handle(s) to spread good $BUZZ and to stay in touch with other Sober.Buzz community members along with everyone else bringing visibility to Sober.Buzz.Voting rights for funding recovery related charitable activities helping to pick where to spread the good $BUZZ. These causes could range from providing assistance to homeless and the lower income population struggling with addiction and mental health, sponsoring those who desire to live in sobriety tuition for rehabilitation & treatment programs, mental health services and other support.Donate to community selected charitable causes to directly spread the good #BUZZ.Access to recovery content and input on the content to be created.
