What we’re about
Join us for awesome events that are fun, informative, and inclusive. We are all about creating a supportive sober community and lasting friendships. You’ll never get bored with our variety of activities, such as non-alcoholic happy hours, picnics, board game afternoons, crafting, walks, hikes, dancing, brunches, yoga, wellness seminars, movie nights, and so much more. We welcome everyone curious about the sober lifestyle, whether you are damp (drink sometimes), dry (no alcohol, maybe recreational drugs), or sober (in recovery, or sobriety; no alcohol or drugs). We are a judgment-free zone, and you can join us for any reason, whether you are quitting for good, or taking a break for a while.
If you're nervous about coming alone and not knowing anyone, please don't be, our meetups are always lots of fun, and everyone is very friendly and supportive. We are all in the same boat and it doesn't take long to feel relaxed once you start chatting. We can't wait to meet you all!
Sign up for the monthly Newsletter that has recaps of our events as well as sobriety resources.
Join our Discord server **here ** to connect with other members of the group, ask questions, and have access to resource links.

Rules of the group:
If you do not visit us within 6 months, you will be automatically declined from this meetup group. We are interested in active members only at this time. The option to rejoin will be offered once, and if within another 6 months, you have not participated in an event you will be declined permanently.
Three No-Shows and you will be declined. When you RSVP and cannot make the event, please move yourself to "No" as a courtesy for anyone who might be on the waiting list, and also so that the group isn't expecting you.
Be respectful, and kind, and do your best. Be true to your word, don't make assumptions, and try not to take things personally without all the facts. If you are having an issue with another member bring it up to the Event Host to have it resolved at that moment. Those who continue to be disruptive and harmful to others will be declined membership. Members participating in our events must be respectful in interactions with people and in content posted on the platform.
We are not a dating group, and though we recognize members will make their own connections, it's not the focus of this meetup.
Please do not solicit members for your own business. If you have an idea for a workshop or informational meetup bring it up with the Organizer to create a separate event.
The Organizers in this group are volunteers. Our Organizers are neither professional guides nor do they have special training or qualifications. The organizer is not trained for emergency medical procedures and no doctors, nurses, or ambulances are provided on the hikes. The sole role of the organizer is to organize the event. Think of them as friends hiking in a group with you. They are not responsible for your safety or actions or anyone else’s. They are not responsible for any incident during the event. They are not responsible for carpool arrangements to the Meetups or incidents during carpools. Each person who signs up for an event is responsible for their safety.
