☘️ “In Ireland, you go to someone’s house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you’re really just fine. She asks if you’re sure. You say of course you’re sure, really, you don’t need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don’t need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn’t mind a spot of tea at that, so long as it’s no trouble, and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. The you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting.

In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don’t get any damned tea.

I like the Irish way better.” ☘️

🌟 Still Riding High from Sober St. Patrick’s Day® 2025! 🌟
We are overwhelmed by the incredible response to this year’s celebration. It’s taken a few days to recover (in the best way possible) from an absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end.

🙏 A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the participants who marched with us, celebrated at the Grand Celebration, and brought the spirit of recovery and joy to life. Special shoutout to Ruth Riddick - NYCB Trainer Registry and www.asapnys.org, plus Family & Children's Association aka THRIVE, Came to Believe Recovery Inc. Stepping Stones Foundation aka Stepping Stones, the historic home of Bill and Lois Wilson and The Salvation Army USA — your support and presence made the day unforgettable.

🔥 The range of reactions from the crowd as we proudly carried the Sober St. Patrick’s Day banner was nothing short of powerful. We saw it all—from the occasional thumbs-down and comments about booze, to people shouting, “Good for you! WooHoo!” and celebrating their own recovery milestones as they shouted their “time” from the sidewalks. Some even chased us up Fifth Avenue just to grab the perfect selfie with the banner in the background. 💚📸

The energy, the camaraderie, and the pure joy of reclaiming St. Patrick’s Day in the spirit of culture, community, and sobriety will keep us going all year long. We are beyond grateful for everyone who showed up, supported us, and helped make this day a resounding success.

Here are a few photos from the parade 😊
🍀 Until next year, let’s keep the good vibrations going! 💚
