Changing The Lives of People New to Recovery

We are Not a Glum Lot and we are transforming recovery

Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50 and a very high percentage of these overdoses occur after a period of abstinence. By showing people in recovery how to feel good, feel happy, feel excited without drugs or alcohol, their dependency diminishes greatly and their chance to enjoy life without relapse skyrockets.

Your donation helps us to show people new to recovery how to navigate the ups and downs of life as sober individuals with the mindset of having fun, joyful and fulfilling life without the need of substances. After all...WE ARE NOT A GLUM LOT!!

Why This Matters (Like, Really Matters)

We've all heard the statistics. But here's what the numbers don't capture: People get sober, then sit at home wondering "now what?" They've learned how not to die. But nobody taught them how to LIVE. That's where we come in. And that's where YOU come in.

Since 2018, we've helped 6,000+ Texans discover that recovery isn't the end of fun - it's just the beginning. Every event we throw is proof that the best memories happen when you're actually present for them.

Here's the Deal: We Make Sobriety So Fun, People Forget It's "Recovery"

Picture this: 100+ people at Zilker Park, crushing it at cornhole, demolishing FREE pizza, and laughing so hard they can't remember why they ever thought sobriety would be boring. Or 50 friends conquering their fears on wakeboards, screaming with pure joy (the good kind). Or 80 warriors covered in paint, proving that natural adrenaline beats any high.

That's what your sponsorship creates. Pure. Sober. Joy.

Testimonies

"Recently, I went on a Not A Glum Lot lake trip - a full day on a pontoon boat in beautiful weather. When I was using, I didn't know how to have fun without being buzzed or high. But this day was exhilarating! I made new friends, went cliff diving, and just had a chill day on the water. Best part? It was completely free. In early sobriety, I couldn't afford anything like this. Not A Glum Lot really cares about making sure everyone experiences sober fun. Thank you so much!"

“Thank you so much Not A Glum Lot! String Cheese Incident was my first concert sober, probably ever! I’m new in sobriety and it was amazing to have had this experience thanks to the tickets provided by Not A Glum Lot to me and one of my sober sisters. DEFINITELY a show I will remember, pun intended. And what a great way to support the sober community so that we can continue to live this way of life and enjoy ourselves without drugs or alcohol.”

"After moving to Austin from out of state, I found Not a Glum Lot. When they invited me on a ski trip to Taos, I couldn't afford it - but they covered everything. I thought it was too good to be true, but it wasn't. That trip gave me friends and memories that'll last forever. In early recovery, it's hard finding purpose. Not A Glum Lot showed me that living a fun, fulfilling life is possible in sobriety. They jump-started my recovery and gave me a life worth keeping."
