I attended my first Sober Court pro-social activity on Friday October 6, 2017 at the Big Texas Rally for Recovery in Galveston, TX. I was expecting big things and I was not disappointed. It was nice driving out to Galveston, and the Moody Gardens convention center where the event was held was beautiful. Lots of vendors were set up at the rally. I met some amazing people from places like Phoenix House and American Addiction Centers. I also saw some really cool shirts and jewelry items that celebrate recovery. One vendor had shirts that celebrated “hope dealers.” Another vendor had items with a Texas theme saying “recovery is real y’all.”

Aside from the vendors, there were was a stage where people shared amazing stories of recovery. There were also an array of comedic and musical performances. One performance was by my sister’s fiancé, a gospel rap artist named J.C. Lewis. During his last song, my sister surprised me by joining him onstage as a backup dancer. I also enjoyed a musical performance by a group from Austin called the Carl Schmidt Duo. There was a lot of love in the room and encouragement to everyone in the recovery process, from day one and beyond to keep going!

Event organizers topped off the evening with a DJ, dancing, and free, tasty ice cream. Overall, it was a great event, and I look forward to attending my next prosocial activity and repping Sober Court for Harris County. #hope4harriscounty
