The month of June is the perfect time to get sober. For those who have started addiction recovery, celebrating a sober Pride Month may mean making a few changes to the way you celebrated in the past. Yet, it can still be enjoyable and full of opportunities for having fun. If you are struggling now with drugs or alcohol, the addiction treatment programs at Crestview Recovery can provide you with the resources you need to make the change to heal.
How to Make a Sober Pride Month a Good One
Sobriety is something to be proud of because of just how intense treatment can be. For those who are members of the LGBTQ community, it is important to show just how strong and confident you are in who you are and the work you’ve accomplished through substance abuse treatment. It doesn’t have to be a challenge to celebrate these accomplishments without having to use drugs or alcohol to do so.
What can you do to celebrate a sober Pride Month? Here are some places to start.
- Visit local events to get the full experience. Most areas will have a few different Pride Month activities that could be ideal for you to support the community. Be a part of those that do not relate to alcohol or drug use.
- Turn to a friend you know is struggling with addiction. Help them see how getting treatment can help them have confidence and live a healthy and full life. Let them know about our LGBTQ-inclusive program.
- Talk about what you’ve experienced and accomplished. Sometimes the best way to have a sober Pride Month is to let others know that they can achieve big things if they put their mind to it.
- Plan an event or social event for your closest friends. Make sure they are sober friends or those willing to enjoy a few hours of fun without the use of substances. Make some fantastic food and celebrate in style.
- Recognize who you are and be proud of it. One of the most important parts of sobriety is being honest with yourself. The same is true for Pride Month. Take the time to think about who you are right now and what you want for your life in the next 5 to 10 years.
