Connection would go on to be the very thing, the very building blocks I would use to create my own sober bar and social environment with Sans bar.
Imagine a place where you can enjoy social gatherings without the pressure of alcohol. Chris Marshall, the founder of Sans Bar in Austin, Texas, has made this a reality. In this episode of 'Nature Untold', Chris opens up about his nearly 15-year journey of sobriety and how it led him to create spaces for sober social interactions.
From his popular Sans Bar to his new initiative, Fireside Connections, Chris is on a mission to offer healing and connection through nature and community. Chris shares his unique perspective on measuring sobriety beyond just counting days. He emphasizes the importance of setting goals and celebrating growth in the moment. He also talks about the power of saying 'no' and how everyone's path to sobriety is different.
His definition of sobriety includes overcoming any external influence used to solve internal problems, whether it’s alcohol or unhealthy relationships. Growing up with a father who had schizophrenia, Chris reflects on how childhood memories can shape us and how he has worked to unlink traumatic events from his past. He also touches on how alcohol initially made him feel connected during his teenage years, but how true connection came through sobriety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for inspiration in their own recovery journey or seeking to understand the value of sober social spaces. Chris's story is a testament to the power of community and the healing potential of nature.
