And a Warm Welcome to Our New Members I’m writing this from Thailand — land of tuk-tuks, temple bells, sunrise beaches, and the occasional guy still asleep on a plastic chair outside 7-Eleven. The energy out here is wild, beautiful, chaotic… and somehow peaceful at the same time. It’s the perfect mirror for what sobriety feels like when it finally starts to click. The craziest part of being sober in a place like this?I’m actually here for it.Fully. Awake. Present. No fog, no regret, no searching my pockets for clues about last night. Just mornings — real mornings — that feel like a second chance every single day. And as I walk these streets in the early hours, watching the city stretch and shake off last night’s mayhem, I keep thinking about our community and how far we’ve come. To all the new members joining us — welcome. Seriously. Whether you’re sober, sober curious, on day one, day one-hundred, or still deciding… you belong here.This isn’t a club with rules it s a crew that gets it. We’re people who wanted something different — or at least wanted to want something different. We’re here because life is better when we have other people walking alongside us, cheering us on, laughing at the same messed-up stories, and reminding each other we’re not alone. Out here in Thailand, I keep bumping into sober travelers — the Canadian with 30 years, the Aussie on year two, the backpacker who decided hangovers were too expensive. It’s like there’s this invisible magnet pulling sober people toward each other. And it made me realize: We’re building the same thing.A place where people can show up exactly as they are and feel understood. Sobriety isn’t punishment — it’s freedom. Freedom to travel.Freedom to wake up clear.Freedom to connect for real instead of through a haze.Freedom to actually enjoy the life we worked our asses off to create. So to every new member reading this — I’m glad you’re here.Take what you need.Share when you feel like it.Keep coming back even if you disappear for a bit.This is a journey, not a straight line.
