  • Sober of the Month Club
    Sobriety as a trend: helpful, or harmful? Do sober months actually benefit anyone? Did you know alcohol increases depression and anxiety?

But for people in the sober community, 'temporary' sobriety can minimize the struggles they've been through. The Kates are here to talk us through all the nuances of sober challenges, and remember: everyone has their own journey!
