✨Where Sobriety Meets Sweat, Strength, and a Whole Lot of Fun!
Hey there! This aint your granddad’s sobriety, and we’re not like the rest…
We move differently. We eat differently. We think differently. We act differently.
We turn our pain into our power, and we seek challenges that most people think is insane! (or just plain stupid)
So let’s be honest. Sobriety can feel a little boring, right?
Are you:
Tired of just talking? We're running marathons, summiting the highest peaks, power lifting, and playing with our kids at the local ballfields and playgrounds! 🏃♀️
Bored with the dull? We're feeling alive again on mountaintops, beaches and ball-fields! ⛰️
Feeling isolated? We're forging unbreakable connections with real families in the SLO sober community! 🤝
Craving a high? We're chasing natural highs through movement, play, and adventure seeking! ✨
Confused and overwhelmed? We implement research-driven, scientific theory to help you find the answers to your biggest questions and concerns!
Sobriety isn’t a punishment- it’s a power move. So Let’s power up— together!💥
🧠 What We Heal:
Addiction + substance use (alcohol, drugs, pills, vaping)
Emotional wounds (anxiety, trauma, grief, bullying, depression)
Self-destructive habits (people-pleasing, avoidance, isolation, screen addiction)
Mental health and identity challenges affecting today’s kids and teens
Family systems impacted by addiction or generational pain
sobriety is a superpower

That’s Vinny, and that’s me, crushing a 10-mile Madonna Mountain Summit.
This year we hosted a Kids Running Club at Hawthorne Elementary School, courtesy of the McDonald’s Golden Grant Award!
That’s me again, crushing a Marathon PR of 3:19:58 at the Modesto Marathon in 2023!!

what people are saying
“I had the most magnificent and magical experience at the 2024 San Luis Obispo Retreat! Between the race, hiking and all the fellowship, it will always be one of my favorite adventures.”
“Freaking awesome. I was looking for real connection, and what I found was more than I ever expected. Retreats are magical and transforming, loaded with opportunities to challenge your body at any level you happen to be at. Resting as needed, complete acceptance, camaraderie and moments shared with laughs so deep and authentic that there was no more room for self-doubt. What started as a “Facebook Group I was meeting up with” ended up becoming a group of friends I look forward to meeting up with again and again.”
“It was an amazing experience of togetherness of like-minded warriors in the most magical scenery.”
“I loved every single second of the retreat. Thank you Amber for all you do!”
“Thank you for all you do, and creating such a welcoming space for us to rebuild ourselves in recovery.”
