Are you sober* or actively trying to manage your relationship with drugs and/or alcohol?
Do you identify as someone who wouldn’t typically find safety, acceptance or community in mainstream sober or recovery spaces**?
We want to hear your story!
Here are the guidelines:
- Share as much or as little as you would like about your journey.
- Be anonymous, use your full name, or a pen name - whatever makes you comfortable!
- Please include where in the world you are located (again, whatever makes you comfortable!)
- Handwritten or typed submissions are both welcome, as are drawings, QR codes to playlists or audio recording, and any other creative way you wish to communicate your story that can be put in print.
- Content Warnings where needed are a must (if you’re unsure, please ask).
- Please refrain from glorifying alcohol or substance use, as it may be triggering for folks.
- 1 page = half a letter size piece of paper. Use this half vertically. Please make sure submissions fill no more than two of those pages with half inch margin.
*We acknowledge that there is no wrong way to be sober, however the BLGC is dedicated to providing a drug, alcohol, and harassment-free experience for its members
** This call is open to folks of all identities, but we do aim to highlight the voices of those who identify as part of the BIPoC, LGBTQ+, Sex Work or Disability Communities.
Submissions are open until March 12th.
