The Sobriety Store You’ve Been Waiting For

Welcome to the most exciting recovery store yet! While most stores offer a bland array of sobriety gifts; including: plastic chips and bookmarks with inspirational quotes printed onto them, My 12-Step Store aims to provide a stark contrast to the dowdy gifts that most people in recovery are used to receiving.

Owner RJ Holguin explains that she, “wanted to open the most fabulous, exciting and splashy 12-step store I could. I wanted a store that celebrated recovery and didn’t make you feel like it was a death sentence.”

Enter My 12-Step Store. Filled with t-shirts and games with a whimsical flair that don’t send the message that the beginning of sobriety means the death of fun; this store is revolutionizing the way that other’s view sobriety. The laid-back air of the store helps ease the stigma associated with addiction, and a life dedicated to sobriety.

In order to find just the right merchandise for the store, Holguin traveled far and wide to find the most original products to offer his clientele. He explains that he, “looked for anything I could find that improved your life – every AA book that existed and every gift and shirt I could locate. I searched high and low until I found everything I wanted.”

Since the stores opening, Holguin confesses that, “some people have walked in and just started crying, while others tell me they traveled from far away; some foreigners have told me that the store was one of their points of interest when they came to the United States.”
