A powerful new high that’s 50-state legal and won’t trigger a drug test.

Through our platform, members join or create their own activity-based groups - from trail running to rock climbing. Romp’s goal is to create a unique community, offering a safe space, accountability, and unconditional support for those recovering from addiction.

THE PROBLEM

Traditional recovery options often require in-person attendance, structured programs, or clinical oversight, all of which can be inaccessible, stigmatized, or insufficient for individuals seeking alternative paths.

Many people do not resonate with traditional 12-step programs or treatment centers, usually due to perceived religious undertones. They are left with limited to no viable paths to recovery.

In a digital world, the need for local in-person community is rapidly increasing. Unfortunately, when it comes to addiction, recovering addicts oftentimes have to start from scratch to rebuild new friend groups, which are crucial for accountability in recovery.

HOW WE’RE FIXING SHIT

It’s a bold strategy, but have you considered meeting up with a bunch of freaks just like yourself?

Addiction recovery is a grueling process. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate because ‘process’ suggests there’s a straightforward procedure you can follow that leads to liberation on the other side. Recovery is not a simple matter, and it’s not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we started Romp.

Join or create your Circles

Circles are activity-based groups where local people in recovery meet up weekly, at the same time and place to do badass shit, like rock climbing and trail running.

Track your progress and streaks

Set your sobriety date, create goals, and keep yourself accountable with our gamified streak-based sobriety tracker. Show yourself some love.

Accountability through community

The social aspects allows members to cheer on others locally and nationally, with 24/7 connection to a robust likeminded recovery community.

Active pursuits to replace the void

Helps replace substance-induced dopamine with positive, adrenaline-fueled dopamine. This channeling of addictive energy is crucial to long-term recovery.

Built by an addict, for addicts

We’re building Romp based on our own personal journey through alcohol and drug addiction, and eventually recovery. Although live-saving for some, we know the traditional 12-step programs aren’t for everyone, because that’s how we felt too. I found sobriety by pouring my hearth and sould into skateboarding, and the community that formed around me as a result. It was extremely powerful, and it saved my life.

MY STORY

Addiction is a serious motherfucker - ask me how I know...

I grew up in Michigan, where I started drinking at the tender age of 13. By high school, I was a full-blown alcoholic. Alcohol was just a jumping-off point; I quickly added an eclectic assortment of drugs, from cocaine and MDMA, to ketamine and nitrous.  As I got older I overdosed on alcohol and drugs multiple times, frequenting detox at local hospitals and jails. I was hurtling full speed towards a young death. I eventually moved back to Boulder, Colorado to be near my family; and it was only after going to AA that I started to take my first real steps towards recovery.

At this time I rediscovered skateboarding. I’ve skated since I was 3, but now it took on a whole new meaning. It was a way to redirect my destructive obsession with substances into something that was powerful and rewarding. I started filming video parts with other skaters, and over the next few years dedicated myself to improving to the point where I ended up getting sponsored by Vans. For the first time in my life, I started to experience true sobriety. I realized that skateboarding wasn’t just a healthy pastime – it genuinely saved my life. Outside in fresh air, skating with friends, the relentless focus required to land a difficult trick – and the adrenaline that comes from finally landing something you’ve attempted a dozen times. It filled the void I felt from giving up the substances I once relied on to function.

Addiction recovery is a grueling process. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate because ‘process’ suggests there’s a straightforward procedure you can follow that leads to liberation on the other side. Recovery is not a simple matter, and it’s not one-size-fits-all. That’s why I started Romp - to help others with what helped me.
