Sobriety and connection are almost synonymous... the more people you were connected to in the app correlated with less relapse rates.
Imagine being able to find sober friends no matter where you are, even if you prefer to connect over the phone. That's the vision Beau Mann had when he created Sober Grid, a free app designed to help those in recovery find community and support. In this episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, host Nate Larkin sits down with Mann to explore his personal journey to sobriety and the inspiration behind the app.
Using GPS technology, Sober Grid connects users with other sober individuals nearby and offers telehealth coaching and other valuable resources.

Mann opens up about the hurdles he's faced and how he's overcome them, providing a candid look at the realities of creating a supportive online community.
He also shares his hopes for the future of Sober Grid and digital support in recovery. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to build or strengthen their sober network, offering insights into how technology can play a crucial role in maintaining sobriety.
