“I started to examine how I could build community. Someone told me The Phoenix had free boxing classes.
It wasn't obsessive about sobriety or the journey or drugs and alcohol, it was just people trying to box.
And I love that.” — Isa
Tim McGraw got sober with the support of his wife, Faith Hill, and their daughters. He opens up about the role of his family in his sobriety in an interview with Esquire. Ally support makes a huge difference in recovery.

Did you know Tyler, the Creator was sober? His chosen path is about authenticity. "His work should inspire anyone who abstains from drugs and alcohol, whether it's because they have struggled with addiction, or because they simply aren't interested."

Sometimes the words we use can perpetuate stigma without us even knowing.
From: “Can I get you a beer?”
To: “Are you thirsty? We’ve got beer, wine, mocktails, water and soda!”
Let's be mindful of how we talk about sobriety.

"What's crazy to me is the fact that we live in a society that deeply stigmatized it in the first place. As if being completely comfortable in our own skin or just having a blast at a music festival isn't supposed to be accessible without drugs or alcohol." -Isa, The Phoenix/1MS
Florence Welch recently celebrated 9 years of sobriety. During the Way We Are podcast, she said, "It's given me a level of creative freedom. Once I drank, the alcohol would just tell me what to do. I'm so much more in tune with what I want, what I like, and what I want to make."
Get excited! Starting today, you can grab a tasty mocktail before watching your favorite show or

Our culture can tend to have a drinking-first default mindset. Whatever you prefer in your cup, we've got a few ways to shift the conversation to be thoughtful towards all lifestyle choices.
