Every activity, project, and event we create is designed to inspire joy, connection, and confidence in living a sober life. My hope is that by sharing what lifts me up, someone else will feel encouraged to choose sobriety, celebrate it, and share it with others.
This is more than an organization—it’s a growing space for transformation, fun, support, and new beginnings in Kern County.

This weekend, Soberkern is excited to participate in the Queer Night Market, hosted by The Kern County Vintage Flea. We'll be handing out sobriety brochures ahead of the Fourth of July holiday and selling fresh, homemade lemonade to help raise funds for our community outreach efforts.
This event is especially meaningful to me because it celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and its allies here in Bakersfield.
One of my greatest hopes in life is to make a positive impact within the LGBTQ+ community. Many queer individuals have experienced rejection, trauma, or hardship from a young age. While every person's story is unique, these experiences can sometimes contribute to struggles with addiction or substance use. Recovery begins with compassion, connection, and the belief that healing is possible.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal with a clear mind, a healthy heart, and the support of a caring community. We're grateful to be part of this celebration and look forward to connecting with everyone.
Do Good. Be Good. Live Good.

Unshame CA: Alfonso believes that community can be such an important resource when managing a substance use disorder (SUD). He thinks about his recovery journey in a battlefield analogy, and he knows that he's at his strongest when he has people by his side to help him fight. Doctors, medications, and church communities were all key allies for him on his journey, and he's so grateful he's been able to rely on them when he's needed support.
SoberSundays is a community-centered project I created to connect with local residents in a meaningful and uplifting way. The vision is simple: to step out into our parks and public spaces, offer visitors a glass of cucumber water, warm cup of coffee, toys, or snacks and wish them a sober, positive day.
Through these interactions, I hope to spark conversations about sobriety—why it matters, how it impacts lives, and how we can encourage one another on this journey. Additionally, I invite each person to pass the message forward by wishing someone in their own life a sober day. SoberSundays is designed to build connection, spread encouragement, and highlight the personal importance of sobriety within our community.

By Sober Strong Podcast: I was honored to join the Sober Strong Podcast to share part of my personal journey—from the experiences that led me into addiction to the path that ultimately led me to sobriety, healing, and a renewed purpose in life. The Sober Strong Podcast is dedicated to encouraging and supporting individuals who are sober-curious, newly sober, or committed to long-term recovery.
