So very very impressed with 8511Films! What we had

So very very impressed with 8511Films! What we had in mind was minuscule when compared to how the finished product turned out. Completely blown away! Tyelur and 8511Films went WAY above and beyond with our project and words do not adequately portray just how impressed we are with their work. 8511Films were kind enough to DONATE the majority of their valuable time, work, expertise, and know-how to the cause. We are so very grateful for 8511Films and their incredibly generous donation! We honestly couldn't have completed this project without their gracious and humble charity. The filming, photography, and directing was carried out with precision and attention to every little detail. Tyelur is also an amazing director. He listened to what our goals were with the project and his creative input and direction led us to a finished product that was ten times more impactful than we had planned. His intuitive knowledge of how filming works, how statements need to sound, what angle will provide the best framing, and what an audience will respond to the most made this project easy, effective, and an overall massive success. I would HIGHLY recommend @_tyelur Tyelur Watkins and @8511films 8511Films to anyone and everyone. Five GIANT gold stars for 8511FIlms!

SERIOUS fun in recovery!! Nothing like some PAINTB

SERIOUS fun in recovery!! Nothing like some PAINTBALL to get the adrenaline racing!! We had a group of 38 people new to a life of sobriety having a TOTAL BLAST and they did it all without any drugs or alcohol. When many people first get clean and sober, most fear that life without drugs and alcohol will be glum and boring. With activities like these, we find that NOT to be true! Life IS exciting and fun, just takes getting out there and DOING it! The more people that learn how to really enjoy their lives in sobriety, the fewer relapses, the fewer relapses, the fewer overdoses, the fewer overdoses, the fewer deaths! Bam
Happiness is the number one enemy of overdose!

You’ve gotta enjoy sobriety to STAY in sobriety!

Fun in recovery with some LOUD and BRIGHT Pink Floyd laser lights!!! Had an awesome crew of people new to recovery discover that they can TOTALLY ROCK at a Pink Floyd show with ZERO drugs and alcohol in their system!! MYTH = BUSTED.
This is what we’re all about, debunking the myth that a life of sobriety could be dull or glum. NOT AT ALL! We absolutely INSIST on enjoying life! .

What is Not A Glum Lot?
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to help people new to a life of sobriety by crushing their initial fears that a life without drugs and alcohol will be glum and dull. When our participants realize that they don’t need drugs and alcohol to enjoy life and enjoy themselves, they are more likely to STAY IN THE FIGHT!
Here are the facts:
1.)The leading cause of death for Americans under 50 is overdose!
2.)The most common time of death is after a period of abstinence!
This means that people are getting help and are trying to help themselves. They get sober, but unless they learn how to enjoy their new lives, relapse eventually occurs. When they relapse, and their body doesn’t have the tolerance it once had, they overdoes and often die.
Not A Glum Lot reduces the amount of relapses that occur. The fewer relapses, the fewer overdoses. The fewer overdoses, the fewer deaths.
People who ENJOY their new lives in sobriety, STAY in sobriety!
Please donate to help us provide more opportunities like this to more people who are trying to help themselves.

Thanks Not A Glum Lot for taking fellas in recover

Thanks Not A Glum Lot for taking fellas in recovery to an amazing football game! I remember thinking when I first got sober, “Well I guess I’m glad I’m not dying of cirrhosis of the liver, but you can kiss ever having any fun again goodbye!” Not A Glum Lot is helping hundreds of people new to recovery realize that a life of sobriety CAN be fun and exciting! Getting over that initial fear that a life without drugs and alcohol will be boring and glum has helped keep many of us IN recovery! Thanks for opening our eyes and keeping us in the fight!
