In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', host Steve Martin-Bennet catches up with Phil, a long-time friend and guest, to share exciting news about the Here Queer Sober Roundup. This groundbreaking event is set to take place next month at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. What started as a modest Facebook group in February 2024 has blossomed into a thriving community of over 2,200 queer sober members.
Now, they're gearing up for an in-person celebration of recovery that promises to be as colourful as the rainbow itself. Phil's enthusiasm is palpable as he discusses the upcoming roundup, which offers two tracks of programming for both traditional 12-steppers and those exploring alternative recovery paths. The event is open to anyone who identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, regardless of their recovery journey.
Whether you're sober due to life choices, medical conditions, or other reasons, you're welcome to join in the festivities. The conversation takes a poignant turn as Phil reflects on the challenges faced by the queer community, particularly in light of recent events such as the Pulse Nightclub Memorial's defacement. Despite these adversities, Phil and Steve emphasise the importance of creating safe spaces where all members of the community can feel valued and respected.
As Steve wraps up the episode, he expresses his gratitude for the Here Queer Sober group and its positive impact. Though he won't be able to attend the roundup in person, his support remains unwavering. This episode is a heartwarming reminder that no matter the obstacles, the queer sober community is here to stay—strong, united, and ready to celebrate recovery together. Don't miss out on this engaging update that showcases resilience and unity within the queer sober community.
It's a testament to the power of coming together and supporting one another.
