Soberfest: Rob Holmes' Vision for Fun and Recovery

Pro social events are designated as spaces that showcase we can and do have fun in recovery. You changed your life for the better and people are benefiting from that, and so if you're young, it's ok, you can have fun. And you know for me, I was scared to quit drinking.
Ever thought recovery means saying goodbye to fun? Rob Holmes is here to prove you wrong. In this episode of Recovery Corner, the official podcast of Young People In Recovery (YPR), Rob chats with the hosts about his innovative approach to sobriety—throwing a music festival called Soberfest where everyone can party sober. Taking place during National Recovery Month, Soberfest offers a safe, vibrant space for those in recovery to enjoy music and community without the pressures of alcohol.
Rob opens up about his own journey through addiction, the struggles of socializing without a drink in hand, and the pivotal moment he realized he needed help. He dives into the creation of Soberfest, emphasizing the importance of having social outlets that support sobriety. Throughout the conversation, Rob's passion for fostering a fun, supportive environment shines through. His story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about transforming the recovery experience into something joyous and inclusive.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to live a full, happy life without alcohol. Tune in and get inspired by Rob's infectious enthusiasm and dedication to making recovery not just bearable, but genuinely enjoyable.
