Chris Marshall's Journey: Creating a Booze-Free Haven and Embracing Intersectional Recovery

I do think that this is our one shot. We want to make sure that we're talking about all people, and that's necessary. This has to be a tide that lifts all boats.
What do a booze-free bar, the musical Hamilton, and intersectional recovery have in common? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara chat with Chris Marshall, the visionary behind Sans Bar in Austin, Texas. Chris opens up about his path to sobriety and the inspiration behind creating a welcoming space where people can connect without alcohol.
He delves into the unique challenges and triumphs of being Black in the recovery community, shedding light on why anti-racism is essential for true inclusivity. But it's not all serious talk—Chris's enthusiasm for Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton adds a fun twist to the conversation. He shares how creativity has been a cornerstone of his recovery, encouraging listeners to find their own creative outlets.
Whether you're curious about sober social spaces or looking for inspiration on embracing intersectionality in your recovery journey, this episode has something for everyone.
