The people behind the movement.

Gabriel Chavez

Gabriel Chavez is a recovery coach, community builder, and founder of DAMD Recovery, a coaching organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome addiction, mental health challenges, and personal struggles through connection, purpose, and self-discovery.

Born and raised in the Antelope Valley, Gabriel understands firsthand the impact that addiction, isolation, and lack of community can have on people's lives. After overcoming his own battles with substance abuse, trauma, and mental health challenges, he made it his mission to create spaces where people can heal, grow, and genuinely connect.

As Co-Founder of AV Sober Social Club, Gabriel is helping lead a movement that proves life doesn't end when substances are removed—it begins. His vision is to create a healthier social culture in the Antelope Valley through experiences centered around connection, wellness, friendship, and purpose.

Through AV Sober Social Club, Gabriel hopes to help people find what so many are searching for: community, belonging, and a better way to live.

I spent years chasing things that were slowly destroying me. What I was really looking for was connection, purpose, and people who gave a damn. AV Sober Social Club exists to help people find exactly that.

An Antelope Valley native, Becky is passionate about helping others, strengthening community, and creating meaningful connections. As a Realtor, community leader, and Mother of three, she has dedicated her life to serving others and making a positive impact both professionally and personally.

Her greatest pride is being a Mom and someone her children can always count on. Becky believes in leading with kindness, resilience, and service, and is committed to helping make the Antelope Valley a better place for everyone.

Everyone deserves a place where they can show up as themselves, build meaningful relationships, and know they belong. That's why we created AV Sober Social Club.
