    Time Takes Time: How To Have Fun In Sobriety

    Today, I’m joined by four other long-term recovery friends, and we’re talking and sharing about having fun in recovery. How do we do that?

    In this episode, we share about:

    • Learning how to have fun.
    • Living on purpose is FUN.
    • How do you stop caring what others think of your fun?
    • Moving in sobriety, AKA geographics.
    • Disney Land is the Happiest Place on Earth.

    Join the community for the FUN challenge now; you don’t want to miss this; so much fun!

    Host: Lane Kennedy, Founder of the Connected Calm Life @lane_kennedy_

    Special Guests in this episode: Alysse Bryson @alysseinthecity, Founder of The Sober Curator; Dave Yates @yatescomedy; Veronica Jvalli @veronicajvalli, Author of Soberful, and Danijela Kovac, Founder of Teetotaler Wines @teetotalerwines
