LGBTQ Recovery Conference

Substance Recovery · Maryland · Free

Annual national conference on LGBTQ+ addiction and recovery. Useful for queer people who've tried 12-step but found the rooms straight-by-default and hostile to identity work. Sober social events (queer sober dance nights, hikes, brunches) are organized in most metros. Sober dating, friendship, and sex are real challenges in queer culture; affirming therapists work with this directly. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Maryland residents and allies.
