I made it for individuals in recovery mostly, but I'm learning that a lot of people outside of the recovery world is actually appreciating the idea and able to come out and enjoy a good night without alcohol as well.
What if nightlife didn't have to involve alcohol? In this episode of 'Resilience in Life and Leadership', host Stephanie Olson sits down with Alexis Lawson, the visionary behind Detox Sober Lounge. With four years of sobriety under her belt, Alexis has turned her personal journey of overcoming addiction into a thriving business that offers a unique twist on the traditional night out.
Located in Omaha, Nebraska, Detox Sober Lounge is one of only five sober lounges in the United States, providing a welcoming space where people in recovery can enjoy activities like pool, darts, and karaoke—minus the alcohol. Alexis shares candidly about her struggles with addiction and how she found her way to sobriety through support systems, including a 12-step program and treatment. She highlights the power of vulnerability in building resilience and staying sober.
Beyond serving the recovery community, Detox Sober Lounge has also attracted those who simply prefer an alcohol-free environment for their social outings. Stephanie and Alexis delve into the importance of creating safe spaces for those on their sobriety journey and the broader impact such initiatives can have on communities. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, recovery, and the power of supportive environments.
