CHICAGO AF EVENTS
Chicago AF strives to foster connection and community by hosting monthly events for adults to meet and socialize in fun, creative, and alcohol-free spaces in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
STANDING MONTHLY MEET-UPS
Every month, Chicago AF offers a variety of low-key, casual meet-ups to connect with others living alcohol-free. We understand that socializing sober can initially feel daunting, so we intentionally provide relaxed and laid-back spaces for you to drop in and test the waters. Our monthly brunch, coffee, and book club meet-ups are facilitated by volunteers committed to sobriety who provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all our attendees.
Our monthly meet-up locations are announced in our weekly newsletter and on Instagram.
RSVPs are required for brunch. You can RSVP to our community email @chicagoafcommunity@gmail.com.
