By Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to stop drinking for a month?

Wouldn’t it be a great idea to take a break from the booze before the drinking season starts in earnest in November? Come join us for Sober October and we’ll be your cyber support network. You can read more about us Here and join Here. But first a bit of inspiration …

Join the party!
Alcohol-free time has given me the adventure of life back. Because I have the energy to pursue it and the mental clarity to enjoy it. Going Af has also given me back connection to others. And it has given me back the ability to discover myself !
Because waking up bright and fresh without a hangover is a lot of fun!
For some of us that just never gets old .
Putting down the wine has given me mental clarity and energy, honesty (with myself…not hiding from myself anymore), access to feelings I was trying to drown (which doesn’t always feel good but is really important to my mental health), hangover-free mornings, greater appreciation of the beautiful “little things” in life.
So come check us out !
We are a free and independent community. No one will try to sell you any product or any idea, because most of us, when we put down the drink, discover that the need to drink that we’ve been hard sold all of our lives is just another big ol bag o B.S.
