founders' note
Dearest Reader,
Many women (and now men) at Hola Sober have not taken the traditional route to recovery as it is not a one- size-fits-all approach. There are many paths to recovery, and what works for one person may not work for another. I created Hola Sober to meet a need in the sober space for a non-monetised space for women and men acting as a. modern alternative to the traditional routes that were not working for them. I wrote the Hola Sober pledge to give myself something to recite daily and I am always open to ideas to help consolidate our sobriety. When Maria MacKenty one of the host leadership team asked me to draw up a set of core principles, I agreed and the result is what I call, The Covenant. Thank you to Linda McGrath-Redmond and Maria for the review before issuing it to our community. Hola Sober takes a multifaceted approach that incorporates a range of guiding principles to help women achieve sustained sobriety and I am pleased to share The Covenant with you. While this is a personal contract between you and yourself and not legally binding, I hope it becomes a powerful tool that can help women stay focused on their goals and support each other in their recovery journeys.
Please feel free to join me as I look skyward to say not today lady, not today.
Lots of love,
Susan Christina Creamer
