I think spending my whole life as an outsider has taught me to look literally outside the box when it comes to solutions, when it comes to building things.
What if you could find a place where authentic connections happen without the presence of alcohol? In this episode of the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast, host Mary Tilson chats with Chris Marshall, the visionary behind Sans Bar. Chris opens up about his personal battle with alcoholism, the impact it had on his mental health and relationships, and the pivotal moment that led him to sobriety.
He shares the inspiration behind Sans Bar, an alcohol-free community space in Austin, Texas, designed to foster genuine human connections. As a former Substance Use counselor, Chris witnessed firsthand the struggles people face in maintaining sobriety post-treatment. This experience fueled his passion to create a safe, inclusive environment where sobriety is celebrated, not questioned. Chris also delves into the challenges of running a non-alcoholic bar in a culture that often glorifies drinking.
From lessons learned from the Vegan Movement to the importance of vulnerability and hard conversations, Chris's insights are both practical and inspiring. He also touches on the role of affirmations in his journey and how they helped reshape his mindset. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is.
Tune in to hear Chris's compelling story and learn about the growing Zero Proof movement that's redefining social norms around alcohol.
