For Sober Sisters: Create, Connect, and Challenge yourself!
As grown women, we still want to Create, we want to Connect, and we want to be Challenged—just like we did as little girls at recess. Think of this as your weekly recess!
A few ways to join in:
1. Bring your kids along and let them have a blast while you take some time for yourself. Mother's helpers are encouraged.
2. Secure childcare, sip on something warm, and spend quality time connecting with other sober sisters.
3. Enjoy some well-deserved "me time"—no kids, no problem! Just you, your creative passions, and great company.
Each week, you'll engage in a craft or activity while tackling a challenge designed to support your recovery journey and nurture your mental and emotional well-being.
Weekly Topics & Challenges:
1. Connection vs. Isolation
2. Gratitude Attitude
3. Self-Love
4. Pay-It-Forward
5. Accept Love
