We’d love to have you join us after your first 30 days alcohol- and substance-free!

The first month of sobriety is a delicate time—your brain and body are adjusting in powerful ways. We encourage you to focus on your own healing and stability during this period. When you’re ready, we’re here to welcome you into a supportive, growth-oriented community.

If you are looking for support in reaching your first 30 days, this could be the perfect time for a recovery group like SMART Recovery, This Naked Mind, Recovery Dharma, or even a sobriety coach. (Yes, they exist!) Finding the right support early on can make all the difference.

I know, right? So what do we actually do?

A little bit of everything! Our gatherings are about living a full-spectrum sober lifestyle—meaning we focus on connection, creativity, and experiencing life fully present.

• A potluck + waterfall wander + sharing circle event

• A book swap

• A member-led pool party with water aerobics

• A coffee meetup + PSU Farmers Market adventure, where we interviewed each other and bought a small gift with $10 to present over lunch

• A sunrise walk on Mt. Tabor to celebrate a member’s first year of sobriety

• Online connection calls for deeper conversations

• Some events include facilitated discussions on topics like self-love, self-awareness, and authentic relating.

• Others are purely about fun, adventure, and creativity.

It all comes from our endless well of creativity, exploring the freedom of a sober lifestyle.

Are you open to trying new things? If so, you’ll love it here!

Heck yeah! We absolutely welcome women who are in early sobriety!

If you're in the beginning stages of sobriety and looking for a space to connect, grow, and build a fulfilling alcohol-free life, this community is for you!

That said, if your main need right now is to process past experiences or navigate deep emotional healing, we recommend adding a recovery group (like SMART Recovery, This Naked Mind, or Recovery Dharma) and/or working with a therapist as additional support.

Naomi is a credentialed life coach and authentic relating facilitator, not a therapist or sobriety coach—but My Sober Girlfriends can be a powerful part of your sobriety toolbox!

If you identify as a woman—or as non-binary but previously identified as a woman—you're welcome here!

We use the term “woman” to include anyone who currently identifies as a woman or has a lived experience of womanhood, regardless of gender assigned at birth.

We attract the most incredible people!

Our members are women who could no longer tolerate feeling out of alignment with their true potential. Alcohol and other substances left them disconnected from themselves—so they chose a different path.

Now, they’re seeking a community of sober, growth-oriented women for support and inspiration.

In My Sober Girlfriends, you might meet a scientist, writer, realtor, principal, yoga therapist, graduate student, marketing professional, artist, and more.

For fun, they screen print, garden, train dogs, roller skate, lift weights, hike, run, read, write books, cook, meditate, dance, do yoga, make collages, volunteer—the list goes on. Sobriety isn’t about giving things up; it’s about making space for more.

Most of our members live in Portland and the surrounding area, but we may be expanding—so stay tuned!

Our connections happen both in-person and online, creating a space where you can engage no matter where you're located.

Not at all! In fact, members have asked if they can help welcome new people.

They love when new folks join and are excited to meet you. You’ll be welcomed with open arms!

Your choices are entirely your own, and there’s no judgment here.

That said, My Sober Girlfriends isn’t just about being alcohol-free—it’s about living a fully present life. Many of our members, including the founder, have also had struggles with weed and cannabis dependence.

For that reason, this isn’t a THC-friendly space. If you’re exploring a life free from substances, you’re in the right place.

Harm reduction is an important step for many people, and we fully respect that.

While My Sober Girlfriends is specifically for those who have chosen to end their relationship with alcohol and all substances (including marijuana), that doesn’t mean we’re anti-harm reduction. Everyone’s journey is different, and we support people in making the choices that are right for them.

This is one of the few places for those of us that have been recovering from marijuana addiction.

I totally understand that in many sober communities, there’s a tradition of offering free services, and I think that’s a beautiful part of the community.

At the same time, I offer a unique, professional service that reflects my training and the effort I put into creating these experiences. This is my job. I price everything as low as I can.

My aim is to create high-quality, accessible experiences while also being compensated for the value I provide.

As women, we've got to trust that we can create valuable professional offerings for each other that are worth the work we put into them. And also believe that we are worth investing in our personal resiliency, wellbeing, and enjoyment of life.

You’ll have plenty of activities and connection opportunities included in your membership!

That said, some optional gatherings may have extra costs—because we love getting out and engaging with the world.

For example, additional costs may apply if:
We’re attending a ticketed event like a performance
A member-led activity requires supplies or space rental
We’re participating in an outside event

You’ll also occasionally be offered optional workshops and special events with additional cost.

But don’t worry—there are always plenty of ways to connect, no matter your budget!

You can choose between a monthly or yearly membership—and with a yearly membership, you get two months free!

I highly recommend the yearly option, not just for the savings, but because it gives you peace of mind. Life happens, and if you need to step back for a few weeks, you won’t feel pressured—you’ll know your spot in the community is always there.

You can cancel anytime, and the price you join at will never go up as long as you remain a member.

Beyond that, there’s no required attendance—come to as much or as little as feels right for you. But I will keep encouraging you to get out of your own way and show up! ;)
