Anders Osborne's Send Me A Friend & Imagine Recovery are launching a new FREE monthly series of events where creative sober people can come together to share ideas, inspiration, and learn new tools to stay creative, happy, and connected.

Send Me A Friend’s mission is to support musicians and creative professionals who face unique challenges while in early recovery and on the road to a new way of life. Starting as a network of sober "Friends" that are on call to come to a gig and offer a helping hand and source of support, SMAF now has over 1,500 volunteers throughout the country.

In 2018, SMAF opened its office in New Orleans at Imagine Recovery (728 Nashville Ave), where they now host monthly "Lifeshops," gatherings curated by SMAF co-founder Anders Osborne, that connect creative and mental health professionals with the local recovery community.

Send Me A Friend & Imagine Recovery are excited to launch this new series of events where creative sober people can come together to share ideas, inspiration, and learn new tools to stay creative, happy and connected. The events are free (RSVP required) thanks to a generous donation from the Gia Maione Prima Foundation.
