Collier reflects on their experience as a Black/trans/queer/low income/chronically ill person navigating the established 12-step method for recovery and alternatives that affirm one's self and identity. Detailing their experiences of sobriety in new cities, the effects of gentrification, finding a trans and queer recovery program and the difficulties finding a space that was affirming of their Black and trans identity, hosting Black queer and trans harm reduction gatherings, the impacts of COVID on their sobriety, dealing with heartbreak, among other topics, Collier accompanies text with small hand-drawn illustrations, quotes from people including Audre Lorde and Alice Walker, and a list or resources for harm reduction, past issues of Collier's journey of sobriety, and how to build your own recovery program. --Grace Li
