Details:
A safe space where queer people in recovery can express themselves through their writing and further their connection to others and personal recovery journey. There will be free writing for the first hour followed by a sharing and feedback portion the last hour. Sharing is not required. Feedback is only offered if the writer agrees to feedback. What is said in this group stays in this group. Offering anonymity amongst like-minded people encourages unfettered self-expression, gaining hope and insight in one’s own personal recovery journey. A person in recovery can be defined broadly, however the group members may be recovering from addictions like drugs, alcohol and other addictive behaviors. The group will avoid graphic details of substance use or behavior that could be triggering for those in recovery. The group's feedback will support, offer suggestions and insights and most importantly affirm the writer’s expression. Rude and inappropriate feedback will not be tolerated and those persons will be asked to leave.
