What we’re about
Whether you're living a healthy lifestyle, sober curious, or in recovery, this group offers opportunities to socialize alcohol free. This is our group. Together we can create a community to have awesome alcohol free experiences and normalize socialization without alcohol. I will be posting events to explore alcohol free venues, do various activities such as hiking, archery, and hold an alcohol free festival this year. Please share event ideas and feel free to host events! I try to do something weekly but am not always successful.
