Emotional Sobriety- A Welcoming Wellness Community

Every Thursday at 5pm (Except July 4)

The Kraken's Cup has partnered with Sober in Knoxville to create a safe and accepting  environment for their North Knoxville meetups.

It doesn't take much for life to throw things our way that can easily cloud us from recognizing our true potential.
Auto-pilot becomes our default and we are once again left asking, "Why did I say or do that?"

How do we begin to respond instead of react?
How do we break the cycles that we feel may be holding us back?

Emotional sobriety is being comfortably present with all of your feelings without any one of them defining or controlling you. It’s about being able to ride the waves of life without using harmful coping mechanisms to escape. This community is for everyone who has a desire to improve their relationship with themselves and the world around them.

Together, we can help one another grow in our daily practice of emotional sobriety and create a supportive environment for all.

*The Kraken’s Cup sells kombucha. Kombucha contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is considered a non-alcoholic beverage.

Please be aware of these products as it relates to your own sobriety journey & do not attend these meetings if being exposed could affect you negatively.

If you have questions, please contact soberinknoxville@gmail.com !

Author Event - Stephanie Edwards

April 9, 2025 11a

Join us as we welcome local author, Stephanie Edwards!

Stephanie has been writing professionally since she landed her first newspaper column at the age of 13. Her love for the Lowcountry, the Atlantic Ocean and a good ghost story inspired her to write her first book, The Haunting on Palm Court: An Isle of Palms Suspense. A stay at a beach cottage with a spooky backyard, filled with old oak trees, brought the novel and two subsequent books in the series to life. All of these books reached No. 1 on the Southern Fiction New Releases list on Amazon. She released a special edition of the trilogy with love letters, a world map, recipes and other memorabilia on Sept. 2, 2022.
