Sober Recovery Message Board Statistics
All of these statistics are taken from Big-Boards. The largest Message Boards and Forums on the web!
Currently, SR is the 1049th most popular forum on the internet.
The majority of the users are from the United States (72%). Below is a pie graph of what the demographics of SR are
Over the last year, SR averages anywhere from 5000 unique visitors each day, to 10,000. That's a lot of people signing on to the forum looking for support. See below
In the last 3 months, there have been dramatic spikes in how many unique visitors log in each day. Notice around Christmas, the drop in unique visitors, then immediately following Christmas, the spike in unique visitors. It's even more dramatic following New Years

I don't know how high 1049th really is, but it seems like it is high when you consider all the forums there are out there and all the other things to talk about.
I was surprised to see Germany came in second, I didn't really notice that many were from there, but other than the USA and Canada, I have noticed a lot of UK and Australia, some Ireland too. Although if this stat has to do with visitors not necessarily signing in, then that makes even more sense.

North, I guess I'm not on the same wavelength. That 2245 number is any kind of forum, yes? I realize 1049 is not that high out of only 2245 message boards, but when you think of all the other topics out there, like computers, news/politics, food, sex, isn't being a little higher than the midpoint pretty high for a site for people to spend time talking about addiction and recovery? Maybe I'm being more Glass Half Full than I would have expected of myself. My sense of proportion could be out of whack too, even though I stopped drinking.

Interesting.
My guess that for addiction forums this must be No. 1 (not that its a competition or anything). I say this because anytime I Google anything about recovery some SR thread invariably tops the list...and all I can think is "dude...the reason I was Googling something was because I wanted an opinion outside of SR!!!"

Great info. I just realized I probably make up with a few of my German pals here the 14%.....LOL.
Yeah no shame here. Each day I am enjoying life reinforces what I am doing and SR has been a life changer for me.
Whoohoo!

Wow...5000 to 10,000 unique visitors a day. Think about how many people that is. People that are looking for that 1 thing (in this case, recovery from addiction) that could help them change their lives.
Think about what that means. Think about how important that makes this site and all of the people who are here. Those people aren't visiting this site to make fun of those with problems; they need help, and we are the ones they are looking to.
That kinda adds a little weight of responsibility to this whole message board thing, and to each of us here, if you ask me. We should recognize that and make sure we're doing everything possible to welcome and help all those Newcomers. I hope more of those visitors start signing up to become members.

SR is for sure a life saver for many of us. AND it is way true that I had been bounced into this site googling various subjects. I finally registered after reading for a month or two..and I have said it before..this site has so many helpful sobriety tips that when I am not logged on..I take SR with me in my memory. ..Interesting info..Thanks North!
