It took me ages to work up the courage to go to a Tonic event, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve made lifelong friends and discovered that sober life is anything but boring.

I used alcohol to help attach with other gay people. When I got sober, I had to re-learn how to be myself in queer spaces.

Don't request me why I said yes to a party at a gay bar in New York City on a random Friday night in June. It didn't make much sense: I had been sober for five years, and the bar was filled with bottles of vodka and tequila.

But I was determined to prove I was fun even if I didn't drink. What intimidated me most that Friday night was being perceived as a boring gay by the "twinks" who invited me. And there was a lot to prove; they knew every Ariana Grande song.

I got sober at 20 in the middle of my sophomore year at college. Yes, campus police finding me passed out after I attempted a break-in while dressed as Bugs Bunny may have been a sign that something was wrong. But what actually started me on the path of recovery was when I threw a cup of cranberry vodka on my ex's face.

Every day I drank, I didn't sense like myself. It was as if I were the homosexual cousin of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Dr. Rectal and Mr. Pryde.

Even though I own been sober for some moment no

Sober Gay Sunday

My name is Dave!

I am a gay, sober guy living in Boston, Massachusetts. Being gay and sober hasn’t always been an easy journey.

The gay planet is intertwined with drinking and drugging from the jump. As a young homosexual making my way into the gay scene, I was more than cheerful to dive in headfirst with drugs and alcohol.

It made me feel acknowledged and took the edge off being social in a room full of people. I have always been anxious, and alcohol and drugs took that anxiety away and made me the life of the party.

After getting sober it was a whole new world.

I had to figure out how to be social and playfulness without drugs or alcohol. I am extremely fortunate that I have a fantastic support system of wonderful people who helped guide me through.

I was swept up by sober gays who had been sober for many years who showed me that we can still carry out anything and everything we did while using, sober.

They showed me that being only gets better after you decide to exit your addiction life behind and embrace sobriety. I am so grateful to all those people in my community who
