Scenario

When sobriety changes the meaning of shared spaces

The bar where my dad and I used to watch games together feels different now that he's been sober for six months, and neither of us knows how to suggest going back or if we should find somewhere new. We keep making plans to hang out and then canceling because we haven't figured out where we belong together anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

How recovery can transform not just individual relationships to places, but the entire geography of connection between people.
