Fall has never actually been beige. Senior Contributor Anne Marie Cribbin shares seven ways to give your home more personality, from unexpected colors and thrift-store oddities to a dinner guest named Margaret who happens to be a skeleton. A playful invitation to reclaim your creativity in recovery.

🎧This week's guest is Ben Coombes, founder of Soberski and our newest contributor. Ben worked ski seasons in the Alps, where the day-one rule is you can ski, work, or drink, but not all three. He always dropped the skiing. So he tried quitting drinking in the least likely place on earth, a ski resort in season, and figured if it worked there it would work anywhere. It did.

Sobriety doesn't always arrive with a grand revelation about who we're supposed to become. Sometimes we rediscover ourselves by following the smallest sparks of curiosity. Sober Curator Contributor Krysty Krywko offers a creative recovery journal prompt for noticing what draws you in, then taking one small step toward it.
