The Life That Sobriety Built - Chris' Story

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

Chris Marshall is 19 years sober—and the life he’s built on the other side of alcohol is nothing short of remarkable. As the founder of Sans Bar, North America’s first non-alcoholic bar, Chris has turned his own journey of feeling different and searching for belonging into a mission centered on connection and community.In this episode, we talk about growing up, never quite feeling like he fit in, learning to embrace who he truly is, and how removing alcohol opened the door to a life he could never have imagined. It’s a conversation about sobriety, authenticity, belonging, and what becomes possible when alcohol is no longer taking up space in your life.Follow Chris and Sans Bar:https://www.instagram.com/sans_bar/
