This common solution we have all found causes us to rejoice with our fellow travelers who have also been given the gift of sobriety.

There are few things in this world that will exceed the contentment one gets from waking up sober and watching a morning surf session with a warm cup of coffee. Or heading down to Petco park to catch a concert or baseball game. Having the freedom to choose what you will do today and being exposed to so many truly remarkable experiences at your hand can be a blessing in early recovery. We encourage you to come join us in San Diego as we embark on this life of sobriety and to finally be a part of the solution and not part of the problem is a feeling that everyone in addiction should get to experience.
