The Phoenix's mission statement is to build a sober active community that fuels resilience and harnesses the transformational power of connection so that together we rise, recover, and live.

We believe that connection is the opposite of addiction — and that recovery can be joyful, inclusive, and accessible to everyone. Our programs focus on movement, shared experiences, and safety, helping people rebuild their lives, confidence, and sense of belonging.

In the Tampa Bay area, The Phoenix creates impact by hosting over 50+ free, chapter-funded events each month for individuals with 48-hours or more of continuous sobriety. We proudly welcome those in recovery, sober curious individuals, and supportive allies into our community.

All of our events are listed in the NewForm app and on our website, making it easy for members to explore upcoming events, discover local and virtual offerings, and access resources designed to support both recovery and mental wellness.
