Host Gail Ferguson Jones talks with Sans Bar owner Chris Marshall about the growing Sober Curious Movement.

Sans Bar in Austin, Texas is believed to be the first in the U.S. to serve only non-alcoholic cocktails, wines and beers.

The Sober Curious trend was the impetus for such establishments with the spread of the global observance of Dry January and Dry October, aimed at encouraging drinkers to examine their relationship with alcohol.

After 10 years of sobriety, Chris missed the chance to socialize without the temptation of alcohol, and founded Sans Bar, realizing there were many others in recovery who would also appreciate the chance for social interaction in a sober environment.

"What most people want is not alcohol," he says, "it's connection."

Sans Bar also hosts alcohol-free events around the country. Learn more at: https://www.thesansbar.com/

Host Gail Ferguson Jones talks with Michael Askew, Executive Director of The Center for African American Recovery Development (CAARD), about cultural barriers to accessing treatment and maintaining long-term recovery faced by black Americans.

In this episode, we talk about how African Americans were unjustly targeted by the war on drugs, how lives and families may be destroyed by felony drug arrests, and how families can encourage and support a loved one who needs treatment.

CAARD advocates across the country for increased availability to treatment services in black communities and options to incarceration.

Host Gail Ferguson Jones speaks with Nikki Myers, founder of the international relapse prevention program Y12sr (Yoga of 12-Step Recovery), which weaves the art and science of Yoga with the practical tools of the 12 steps.

Nikki is credited with coining the phrase "the dis-ease of the lost self" to best describe codependency.

In this episode she shares how Yoga is essential to the "inside job." of recovery from codependency, a relational pattern of relying on other people or things for a sense of validation.

"The issues are in the tissues," Nikki says, describing how Yoga restores balance and regulates the nervous system.

She also says there's ``something for all of humanity" in the 12 steps.
