Sober Fun - Yes It Is Possible!

A party is not what it used to be; while once it may have taken us a few drinks to loosen up we now know the true definition of fun thanks to Above It All, AA, and other 12 step programs.  Nothing is more exciting then truly feeling comfortable in your own skin for the first time in a long while. There are many programs that provide various outlets to let us cut loose while staying safe and sober. Now that we have gone through detox, and gotten sober we are able to enjoy life again. Whether it be an event at a theme park with 1000 of our closest sober friends, a sober dance, or a meeting we are more equipped to handle social situations that might have been awkward for us when we first got sober. We are finally able to be comfortable and have fun. This sober way of life provides us the opportunities most people long for such as being surrounded by people who truly just want to enjoy each other’s company and genuinely care for one another without wanting anything in return. 

From movies nights to spending hour’s playing cards at the local coffee shop being comfortable in your own skin is an amazing feeling we are now able to enjoy. It is a great gift to be able to hang out in the company of people who truly understand you, no one is saying that it will not feel awkward or uncomfortable the first time you go to a sober dance or other events such as sober game nights, or other fellowship gatherings you may attend but just like your first meeting you will be welcomed with open arms.
