"Sobriety doesn't mean that life is perfect. But it does mean that you're better equipped to handle whatever comes your way."
FROM THE DESK OF THE FOUNDER
Happy Friday, Sober Sippers!
Halloween is eight days out, so consider this your planning memo. We have 24 ways to do spooky season without a witches' brew of booze, a Lisa Gardner thriller starring a recovering alcoholic who finds missing people, and "Body Brokers," the rehab-scam movie that is scarier than anything in a mask because it's based on true events. We also revisit why "The Lincoln Lawyer" season 3 left us wanting more recovery, and the NA beer our reviewer bought exactly one can of.
Now let’s get to it…

HAPPY EVERY HOUR
Visitor NA Beer Is An Unwanted Guest
We are meeting someone new today; a visitor, if you will. Visitor is from Potosi, Wisconsin, and brings with it high expectations, as we have been blown away a lot in the past by NA brews out of Wisconsin. We enter into this week with high hopes and a bit of confusion.
This week we are drinking Visitor beer. Is it a lager? Is it an IPA? Nobody knows.
ADDICTION FICTION
Book Review: “Still See You Everywhere” by Lisa Gardner
Welcome to the latest installment of Addiction Fiction in” Library! This time, we're diving into a thriller so twisty, it might just give your brain whiplash.
Missing persons expert and recovering alcoholic Frankie Elkin is back, this time chasing down a lead on a long-lost girl while navigating a remote Hawaiian island full of a questionable billionaire and deadly secrets. Oh, and let's not forget the serial killer on death row who may hold the key to everything.
MOVIE NIGHT
“Body Brokers”: The Sober Curator's Movie Night Presents a Gripping True Story of Addiction Exploitation and Health Insurance Scams
If you are a person in recovery and/or a recovery advocate, "Body Brokers" is the kind of movie that is going to make you angry. Like punch your fist into a wall angry. Directed and written by John Swab, "Body Brokers" is a film about the obstacles of recovery and a deep dive into the rehabilitation industry.
Want to know why it's going to make you so angry? Because it's based on true events.
THE MINDFUL BINGE
“Lincoln Lawyer” Season 3 Review: A Recovery Disappointment
One of the refreshing elements of the previous seasons was the inclusion of sobriety in Mickey's storyline. His character, who is in recovery, offers a nuanced portrayal of life beyond addiction. While not the main focus, it was a welcome layer that added authenticity and depth to his character.
