National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

Substance Recovery · Arizona · Free

NIAAA — federal research and resources on alcohol use disorders. 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. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
