One of the biggest misconceptions about recovery is that getting sober means giving up fun. At the Arrid Club, we know better. Recovery opens the door to real friendships, genuine laughter, and a community that shows up for each other, not just in meetings, but in life.
A glimpse of life in recovery at the Arrid Club
Saturday morning fundraisers with good food, strong coffee, and even better conversation. A favorite tradition.
Backyard-style gatherings with food, lawn games, and the kind of easy fellowship that reminds you why you got sober.
Dance nights featuring live music or a DJ, where people come together for an evening of fun, laughter, and fellowship.
Casual rounds for all skill levels. Less about the score, more about spending a few hours outside with good people.
We celebrate sobriety milestones together, whether it's 30 days or 30 years, because every day sober is worth honoring.
Nobody should spend the holidays alone. Our holiday events are open to all and full of warmth, food, and fellowship.
Recovery under the stars. Campfire meetings, fresh air, and a reminder that the natural world is worth being sober for.
Pitching in to keep the club running. Service is a cornerstone of recovery, and there's something deeply satisfying about working alongside others.
Inspiring stories from people who've been through it. Some funny, some moving, and always honest. A great place to bring newcomers.

"The joy of living is the theme of A.A.'s Twelfth Step, and action is its keyword."— Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions

Recovery is about more than attending meetings. Through fellowship, service, and shared experiences, people at the Arrid Club build friendships, celebrate milestones, and create a community that supports lasting sobriety. You don't have to do this alone, and you don't have to do it without joy.
