Where do I even begin? I've been blessed to have discovered Root a year ago, and it has been a total game-changer for me as a recovering alcoholic. I had lost all sense of social connection and fun, but a friend introduced me to Root, and it's been a journey of transformation and growth. I'm now living a life filled with purpose and meaningful social interactions, and I couldn't be more grateful.Greg, Olivia, Stacey and Johnnie are the epitome of love and acceptance and the love I've received from this community is unparalleled, and I feel like I've finally found my tribe. Being in recovery can be tough, but having a supportive group of people who uplift and encourage me every day has made all the difference. Every time I step into Root, I'm filled with a sense of joy and belonging. If you're searching for a safe and loving space to connect with like-minded individuals, look no further than Root. In a city filled with bars, it's refreshing to have a healthy and safe alternative. I've found my people , and I'm so grateful. Highly recommend! BULA!!!
