Spoiler:

Hello and welcome to another edition of Ready for Recovery. I’m your host, Trey Dyer. Last year I heard about this guy named Jake who created a company called Party.0. It all started when Jake was in college.

Jake never really got into drinking. He said he got drunk once at a party and he hated it, mostly because he ended just sitting on a couch buzzed the whole night doing nothing. But just because he hated drinking didn’t mean he didn’t want to be want to be social.

In 2012, Jake and some friends started throwing sober house parties at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh where they were students. The first Party.0 event was at a small apartment in Oshkosh. They were expecting 30 people at most. Eighty showed up. Party.0 was an immediate hit.

That first sober party has blossomed into a nationwide movement. Jake is joining us today to tell us more about how Party.0 got started and what they’re doing at colleges across the country.
