Episode 17: Redefining Fun – Sober Raving, Spiritual Awakening, and the Power of Community with Cheyenne

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Sober Disclosure, Breezy and Jimmy sit down with Cheyenne, a man with over 11 years of sobriety whose journey challenges everything we think we know about recovery. From battling addiction in the rave scene to rediscovering joy, connection, and a relationship with God, Cheyenne’s story is raw, real, and incredibly moving.

Cheyenne opens up about his early fears in sobriety—especially the belief that he’d never be able to enjoy music festivals or raves again. But at just six months sober, his sponsor introduced him to the Insomniac Consciousness Group, a nonprofit founded by his sponsor and sponsee brothers. The group creates sober spaces inside music festivals, hosting meetings, handing out candy, and offering community to anyone needing a safe, substance-free space. It was here that Cheyenne began to see sobriety not as the end of fun, but as the start of something even better.

But the journey wasn’t easy. With over a year sober, Cheyenne hit a deep emotional low—so dark that he contemplated taking his own life. He shares the moment his sponsor told him something that changed everything: “You need to surround yourself with people who care more about you than how you feel.” That simple truth became a turning point. It led Cheyenne not only toward healing but also toward building a deeper relationship with a higher power—something that continues to ground and guide him today.

Now, Cheyenne volunteers with the Consciousness Group, helping others experience the joy of sober raving and reminding people that sobriety doesn’t limit life—it expands it. His story is a testament to second chances, spiritual growth, and the importance of being part of a community that truly sees you.

Tune in to hear how Cheyenne found purpose, connection, and a reason to dance again—proof that recovery can lead to a life far greater than we ever imagined.
