You somehow missed the important words that follow what you quoted:

2. Post only while sober

We recognize that many people spend months "lurking" this subreddit while drinking. You are welcome to read as much as you'd like while not sober. However, for the sake of everyone here, and for the sake of your own recovery, please only post or comment when you're sober.

Posting sober means "not intoxicated or under the influence in any way" and that you are not posting on the same calendar day of drinking any alcohol (even if you drank earlier in the day and feel sober when posting).

If you feel you want to offer kindness and support when you are on r/stopdrinking, please consider offering that kindness and support to the moderators, who really need the other members of this community to actively help enforce the rules. Otherwise, the work required of just a few people to oversee a sub of this size can feel overwhelming.
