We’re Here, We’re Queer! – Noah’s Story
This month's installment of We're Here, We're Queer is different than prior months. I firmly believe that it's important for queer and trans folk in all kinds of recovery have…
Bye-bye Binary
There's this thing that's inside of me that I really need to get out into the open. It may not make sense to everyone but, to the people who know…

We’re Here, We’re Queer – Jen’s Story
It’s the 15th of the month so that means it’s time for the next installment of We’re Here, We’re Queer!
I keep reading Jen’s story over and over because I love how she keeps changing and evolving with time, as things feel right for her. She just celebrated her nine years last week and I’m so excited to see what the future will bring for her.
Enjoy!

Let’s talk about (not having) sex
Let's talk about sex, shall we? I logically know that not having sex nothing to be embarrassed about but realistically, it's been an embarrassingly long time since I've had sex…

We’re Here, We’re Queer – Julie’s Story

I met Julie AnnMarie on Instagram last year and she has been a shining light of love + positivity + hilarity for me ever since. (Plus she says ‘wicked’ like a real New Englander despite living her whole life in Florida so – bonus points there!) I think her story is a testament to how much good we can do by just talking about our recovery – you never know who you’re going to reach or who’s life you could change.
I’m so grateful that she agreed to take time out of her life to put this little piece together.
Hi!
I’m Julie.
I’m 28, identify as lesbian, live in Florida, and I just celebrated my one year soberversary on March 10th of this year. It’s weird to say that and still trips me out to think back on the past year and how much has changed. (more…)
