Sober October Events!

We are excited to provide new opportunities to get involved in sober community in NWA! See attached flyers for details. If you want to volunteer to cook with us at New Beginnings, please RSVP via email! For all other events, we will see ya there!!

For those with “potluck anxiety” (I’m just now learning this is a thing!) You don’t have to be able to cook, and in fact you don’t have to bring anything at all. If you don’t want to cook but still want to contribute, go pick up a bag of fruit or a pre-made dessert or a case of soda/seltzer or a bag of dang ol’ cheetos for all we care! The fun of a potluck is that we don’t know what is going to show up food-wise. Also, there is nothing wrong with just showing up to eat and hang out. Your presence is enough!

To clarify who is welcome at our events: anyone who is interested in sober community who is willing to not drink/use while at the event. You don’t have to be in recovery or sober in general. You just have to 1) be interested in sober hangs and 2) hopefully not drink/use for the time you are at the event. It is common for people to self-exclude because they aren’t sure if they are “sober enough.” Support people are also welcome, so bring a friend!

May you be happy and free, dear reader.
