Sobriety Sisters

08/11/2026

There is something incredibly special about finding people who feel like family before you ever get the chance to stand beside them.

For so many of us, our sisterhood began through a screen. We found each other in meetings, in conversations, in the hard days and the good ones. We have laughed together, cried together, encouraged one another, celebrated milestones, and carried each other through moments when life felt heavy.

Some of our sisters were blessed to return for a second year, reunited with women they had shared our very first retreat with. Others came this year and finally got to meet, hug, laugh with, and spend time with sisters they had known and loved for years through our online community.

And somehow, whether it was the first hug or the second year of hugs, it felt like coming home. ❤️

Our second Sobriety Sisters Retreat in Tennessee was so much more than a getaway.

It was a chance to slow down.

To breathe.

To heal.

To reflect on where we have been and celebrate how far we have come.

We laughed until we cried. We shared stories. We opened our hearts. We tie-dyed shirts, painted, went ziplining, spent time on the pontoon, experienced holistic healing with Shell, shared meals, and made memories that will stay with us long after we returned home.

But the activities weren't what made this retreat beautiful.

It was the connection.

It was watching women who have supported one another from hundreds or even thousands of miles away finally sit beside each other.

It was the hugs.

The conversations.

The tears.

The laughter.

The quiet moments.

The “I can't believe we're really here together” moments.

And one of the most meaningful parts of our retreat was being able to turn around and give that love back to another group of women.

We visited Second Chance Sober Living in Newport, Tennessee, where we were welcomed with open arms. We shared our stories, listened to theirs, hugged one another, laughed together, and brought hygiene baskets to remind these women that they matter, their recovery matters, and they are never alone.

That is what Sobriety Sisters means to us.

We don't just talk about recovery.

We live it together.

We show up.

We love each other through the hard days.

We celebrate the victories.

We give back.

And we remind one another that the life we have today is worth protecting.

Our second retreat may have ended, but the memories, the healing, the laughter, and the connections we made will stay with us.

Some sisters came back for their second retreat.

Some sisters experienced their first.

But every single woman who was there became part of another chapter in the story of Sobriety Sisters. ❤️

Here's to the women who found each other, the women who keep showing up, and the sisterhood that continues to grow.

Until next year… ❤️

We love you, Sobriety Sisters.

Thank you The Iora Foundation for hosting a paint night for our final night at Sobriety Sisters 2026 Retreat. It was a great way to wrap up our amazing time together.

Today was all about creativity, connection, and recovery! 🎨💜

We had the privilege of spending time painting with the amazing women of Sobriety Sisters.

There’s something pretty special about sitting around a table, picking up a paintbrush, laughing, creating, and simply enjoying the moment together.

At The Iora Foundation, we believe recovery is about so much more than staying sober. It’s about healing from addiction and trauma, building healthy connections, discovering new ways to cope, and learning to enjoy life again. 🦋

Today, we painted more than canvases—we created memories, connections, and a little more joy along the way. 💜🩵

Thank you, Sobriety Sisters, for letting us be part of your day! We can’t wait to do it again. 🎨🌸
Building a life worth staying sober for. 🦋

SOBRIETY SISTERS LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES.

While our Sobriety Sisters came together from all over the country for our retreat, we had the beautiful opportunity to step away from our own plans and spend some time giving back to women who are walking the same road of recovery.

We visited Second Chance Sober Living in Newport, Tennessee, and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed with open arms. The beautiful land, the mountains, the pond, and the peaceful surroundings were breathtaking but honestly, the women were the most beautiful part of it all.

We shared stories.
We shared laughter.
We shared hugs.
And, most importantly, we shared hope.

Our ladies were able to bring hygiene baskets to the women of Second Chance, made possible through the generous donations and support of everyone who believes in what Sobriety Sisters is doing. Every donation made this moment possible.

As we talked, one thing became so clear women in recovery need women in recovery.We need people who understand the struggles, the victories, the loneliness, the fear, and the strength it takes to keep going.

Sometimes being surrounded by women isn't always easy. We are all carrying our own stories, our own wounds, and our own battles. But when we choose to support one another instead of standing alone, something beautiful happens.

We become stronger together.
We remind each other that we're not alone.
And we create a sisterhood that can reach far beyond our own communities.

Today, we are incredibly grateful for the women of Second Chance for opening their doors and their hearts to us. Thank you for allowing us to spend time with you, hear your stories, and share ours.

And to everyone who supports Sobriety Sisters Movement whether you donate, volunteer, share our posts, attend our meetings, or simply believe in our mission THANK YOU. You help make moments like this possible. ❤️

This wasn't just a visit.

It was sisterhood.
It was recovery.
It was connection.
It was love.

And we left with full hearts, knowing that when women come together to lift each other up, there is no limit to what we can do. 🫶🏻

💜 Sobriety Sisters Retreat is in FULL SWING! 💜

There’s something SO beautiful about getting a group of women in recovery together and watching the connections happen. 🥹

Yesterday our Sisters had the opportunity to make bags together and to visit a women’s sober living home to donate much deserved items, and share our experience, strength, and hope. We showed up not just with donations, but with open hearts, listening ears, and the reminder that none of us have to do this alone. 💪🏻

This retreat is about so much more than having fun together. We’re building friendships, strengthening our recovery, creating connections with women in our community, and carrying the message of hope wherever we go.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated, supported, encouraged, and helped make this outreach possible. You are a part of every connection we make and every woman we’re able to reach. 🫶🏻

The retreat is still going strong, and we’re just getting started! 💜
