S3 Ep77: OTI Adventures: The Snowdon Special

In this episode we chat to four of our fabulous OTI Community members, Maz, David, Will and Denise, about the weekend we spent in Wales for the very first OTI Summer Camp! We love connecting on Zoom and through our forums and OTI Chat, but now that we're all able to get together properly again, nothing can beat a bit of face-to-face connection. Thirty members drove from all over the country (one even flew in from Bahrain!) to be there with each other to climb the epic Mount Snowdon but also to chat, connect and to be active in their sobriety. There was the sunrise trek, paddle boarding, kayaking, singing around the campfire... It was a packed schedule! But everyone had a smile on their face for the entire time - they were using the energy and motivation that going alcohol free gives you, and they were pushing themselves out of their comfort zones - but they were all in it together. If you think that connection is the missing piece of the puzzle for you, then we'd love for you to join us! You can find the info below, and we'll be releasing our full schedule of events for 2023 very soon!
