The Sober Life with Thomas Risberg

What if recovery wasn't just about staying sober, but about truly living? Thomas Risberg, the driving force behind The Sober Life program in Great Falls, believes in creating a vibrant, supportive community for those on their recovery journey. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Risberg shares how The Sober Life offers free, family-friendly activities like drumming, singing, and Native American art classes to foster connection and purpose.

The program goes above and beyond by providing transportation and childcare, breaking down barriers that often hinder participation. It's not just about fun and games; The Sober Life also offers peer recovery coaching and care coordination for those needing extra support. Events like the upcoming Stop the Stigma event and the Central Montana Out of the Darkness walk are part of a broader initiative to promote mental health awareness and combat addiction stigma.

These events provide crucial resources and support for individuals and families affected by these issues. If you're looking for a model that can be adapted to any community, The Sober Life is a shining example. Tune in to hear Thomas Risberg's inspiring vision of recovery as a communal, inclusive journey.
