Celebrate National Recovery Month with a Family-Friendly Event in Williston, ND

Sober September is a growing movement where people commit to a month-long break from alcohol. Whether it's for physical health, mental clarity, or personal growth, taking a month off from drinking can be incredibly beneficial. What starts as a 30-day challenge can easily turn into two months sober, and then three, eventually leading some to choose a sober lifestyle forever as they continue to experience the positive effects.

In alignment with Sober September, it's important to recognize that September is also National Recovery Month, a time to celebrate and support sobriety, while raising awareness about addiction and mental health. This month serves as a reminder that recovery is possible, and it's an opportunity to honor those on their recovery journey.

Sober AF (And Fun) Family Event - September 12th

Join a free, family-friendly event on Thursday, September 12, celebrating sober lifestyles and normalizing sobriety. Hosted by Ataraxis Yoga, the F5 Project-Williston, and Choice Recovery Counseling, this event offers an opportunity to support evidence-based recovery and share sober victories, all while holding space for those still battling addiction. Every dollar raised will directly benefit the recovery community in Williston.

This event also honors National Recovery Month by saluting the dedicated workers and community members who make recovery a reality. Speaker Charles Winder, with over 15 years of experience in the substance-use treatment field and currently the program director at the Arnegard Providence House, will be sharing his insights. Speaker Liz Mah, sober since April 2015 and a newly licensed LAC (Licensed Addiction Counselor) in North Dakota, will also share her inspiring story of change.
