"Telling your story" is the heartbeat of recovery, and Sober 24 seeks to publish the broadest range of experience, strength, and hope of individual members and others in the community who are on a path of recovery and have a desire to get well.
A typical story is a first-person narrative written in simple, dramatic, anecdotal style with a message that the reader can "take away" and apply to his or her own life.
Stories can be up to 1,000 words. All submissions must be the writer's original work. They are evaluated by Sober 24 staff, and while some editing is done for purposes of clarity, spelling, and length, all writers are encouraged to express their own experience in their own unique way.
By submitting a story to Sober24.com, the author is granting permission for use of the story to be published and archived on Sober24.com.
Stories are not intended to be statements of policy, nor does publication of any story constitute endorsement by Sober 24. Stories are invited, but no payment can be made.
Sober 24 is not a Twelve Step program, nor are we affiliated with one, but we do believe that the path to recovery lies in participation in a Twelve Step program. All are welcome to contribute to Sober 24, and no one viewpoint or philosophy dominates.
