after two years of complete sobriety, i discuss how & why i made the conscious decision to engage with substances again.
what happened? what's next?
no matter where you're at on YOUR spiritual / social / substance path, my intention is that you'll find hope & truth—laughter and tears—and ultimately feel free to live more fully.
THE FUTURE OF PARTYCOACH
check partycoach.me/links for updates.
yes, moving forward partycoach will evolve. while I'll continue to advocate for mindful partying and sobriety options, i'll be broadening our focus. expect more content on balancing wellness with social life, and less emphasis on substances themselves.
remember, everyone's journey is unique. If you're in recovery and know that complete abstinence is necessary for you, please continue to trust yourself and your support system.
as always, i'm here to listen & support you in creating intentional experiences – with or without substances. let's continue to party with purpose, prioritize our wellbeing, and laugh through our journeys.
