At Sober Connections we explore personal experiences and narratives about sobriety or the idea of sobriety. We do this through the lens of the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study and use those indicators to help individuals express what happened to them, not what's wrong with them. We also use those indicators as talking points that impacted their use and addiction. Lastly we find out what an individual would like the future to look like and any insights they might share with others that are wondering about sobriety.
