We need each other, we need connection, and the best version of ourselves is alcohol-free.
What if socializing didn't have to revolve around alcohol? In this engaging episode of Recovery Corner, Chris Marshall, the founder of Sans Bar, dives into his mission to create a space where genuine connections thrive without the influence of alcohol. As someone who has walked the path of recovery himself, Chris knows firsthand the challenges and triumphs that come with it.
He shares his personal journey, from struggling with alcohol use disorder as a teenager to finding solace and community in sobriety. This led him to open Sans Bar in Austin, TX, a haven where people can enjoy zero-proof cocktails, live music, dancing, and more, all while fostering meaningful relationships. The episode sheds light on the growing sober curious movement, where more individuals are questioning their relationship with alcohol and opting for alcohol-free lifestyles.
Chris emphasizes that Sans Bar is not just about the drinks; it's about creating a welcoming community where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. During the pandemic, finding such communities became even more crucial, and Chris's national tour of Sans Bar pop-ups has brought this sense of belonging to various cities. Tune in to hear how Chris Marshall is changing the nightlife scene and offering a refreshing alternative for those seeking connection without the pressure to drink.
