Ann Arbor’s new bar manager is five years sober

Max Schikora, the mastermind behind the cocktails at Echelon in downtown Ann Arbor, hasn’t had a drink in five years—and he’s leading a team where sobriety is the norm, not the exception. Despite working in an industry built around alcohol, Max’s story is all about second chances, daily commitment, and building a welcoming space for everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers alike. His journey shows how recovery and hospitality can go hand-in-hand. What do you think: Can someone in recovery thrive in a bar environment, or is it too risky? #Food #AnnArbor #Sobriety

Paris Jackson Opens Up About Her Past Struggles: “Drugs Ruined My Life” Paris Jackson is getting brutally honest about her past. In a recent interview, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson revealed she’s living with a perforated septum—a condition often caused by heavy drug use—and admitted that her addiction “ruined” her life. The 26-year-old musician and model spoke candidly about her journey through pain, self-destruction, and eventual healing, saying that at one point she lost herself completely. “I was numb. I didn’t care if I woke up the next day,” she said. Paris has since turned her life around through music, therapy, and spiritual growth, often using her platform to raise awareness about mental health and recovery. Her honesty serves as a powerful reminder that fame doesn’t protect anyone from struggle—but recovery is possible. #ParisJackson #Recovery #MentalHealthAwareness #Sobriety #CelebrityNews
