"Sober Not Boring" isn't just a phrase; it's a battle cry for the fun-hearted, stamped across a backdrop that screams '80s arcade and disco balls. Imagine those words, bold and brash, daring you to think sobriety's a snooze fest. It’s all set against shapes that zig, zag, and zoom in neon glory – a tribute to a time when hairstyles were big, and the colors were even bigger.
This logo is a high-five to every soul skating through life on the sober side, proving every day that the party doesn't need a pour. It's vibrant, it's loud, and it refuses to be ignored. Wearing this logo? You're not just rocking a tee; you're telling a tale of living life in the most HD, surround-sound, technicolor way possible. "Sober Not Boring" is more than style; it's a statement.
This is what our Friday nights look like! Can't wait to celebrate with everyone tomorrow 🤗
Connecting with us is EASY! Support our organization by sharing this post, telling a friend about our events, and praying for God to use what we do to reach people seeking a sober community.

Meet Mike. You may have seen him around if you attended our Friday night Sober Not Boring events in Belding. I encourage you to take a moment and listen to his testimony or share it with someone who is in recovery. It is a raw interview and he owns where he went wrong over the years and it is truly inspiring to see a life transformed and redeemed.
We appreciate and support the men and women who have been involved in Mike's recovery and the good work that you are doing. We hope our events provide a safe place for people like him to rebuild their community of friends and we appreciate the support we have received from many of you. Keep up the great work!!!
In this deeply moving interview, Robert sits down with Mike Grundy, a man whose life story is a testament to the power of transformation and resilience. Draw...
It was great to work with the Ionia County Health Department to bring awareness and resources for those dealing with Substance Use Disorder. Thank you for sharing these pictures from the Belding Color Run! We look forward to partnering with you on the run in September!
Come one.. come all!!!
I promise! Just keep going forward❤️
I'm proud of all of us! Sobriety is hard. Sobriety is BEAUTIFUL!
"Not in my neighborhood."
Most people think sober living homes are GOOD things and yet, when it comes time to find good, safe home for this purpose, most communities suddenly start banking away. Maybe it's time to change our thinking and welcome people to a safe and supportive community.
Love, kindness, compassion, and help is desperately needed and we can start a revolution to make that the norm in Ionia and Montcalm! Let's make success easier. Sobriety is hard enough. We can do so much better!
