Creating Joy in Sobriety: Duke Rumely's Vision for Sober Entertainment
We are a national nonprofit setting up sober support tailgates and sober sections at music festivals, concerts and sporting events.
Picture this: a concert or sports event where everyone is having a blast, and no one is under the influence. Sounds like a dream, right? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Michael Walsh chats with Duke Rumely, the founder of Sober AF Entertainment. Duke shares his journey from addiction to sobriety and how he realized that fun doesn't have to involve alcohol or drugs.
He talks about the mission of Sober AF Entertainment, which is to carve out safe, enjoyable spaces for people in recovery at major events. From sober tailgates to dedicated sections at concerts and festivals, Duke's organization is breaking down the stigma surrounding sobriety and proving that you can have a great time without substances. They also tackle some common myths about anonymity in recovery and emphasize the power of community and support in staying sober.
