The comments on this post make me so upset as a sober person because it proves that a lot of people who drink don't respect sober people.

The implication that I get from this is that all sober people need help, and that support groups are our only safe space. While a lot of people do reach out for help in a variety of different ways for different reasons, especially if recovering from addiction, there are plenty of people who don't need help, or have recovered enough to not need help. These people still need safe spaces. We should be able to access fun things safely without needing mental treatment. (Also there is a growing inaccessibility of queer centers in my area, and I'm guessing this isn't a lone situation.) (Maybe I read too much into the comment but my points still stand without the context.)

I love libraries. Great idea, libraries are a great space for everyone, but we need more than just libraries. We need places to eat, and play, and environments that stimulate things beyond what a library can do. I'm sure libraries also can help with resources for those who need, and we should make this information more public without stigma. Also SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.

And that's your own choice to make! If you think I'm meeting people WITH alcohol, you're wrong. The difference is that people like you likely have an easily accessible space for that. Sober people have to try harder to find these spaces, especially as a queer person.

I'm sorry you feel attacked as a "bar enjoyer." You should not feel discomfort caused by other people for your own decisions. As sucky as that is, this goes both ways. Stop telling sober people to suck it up, or that they're missing out (real things I have been told). Sober people and even recovering addicts do not often have equivalent safe spaces as those who drink casually. If you don't want to hear us complain, help us build dry bars.

Hm. I wonder why it's stereotypical that sober people don't like going out. It's almost like some people don't feel comfortable being in non-sober spaces and feel attacked when we ask for a dry space to exist. I would love to go to a late night venue and get out more, but I can't do that without anxiety. Others can't do that without risk of relapse.

The sobriety community is a very diverse place. I've met right wing sober people. Even Trump himself doesn't drink (nor does Biden if you were wondering). So this leads to a huge need for not just sober spaces, but sober spaces for other minorities. "We need queer friendly sober spaces," isn't something that should be made fun of.

I won't be a person who insists that all people who drink need to get sober. All I'm asking for is respect and understanding. I don't agree with a drinking lifestyle for me, and you don't have to agree with the sober lifestyle for you. I am just frustrated that sober people raise some very basic points about how we have a hard time finding places, and we are met with underhanded backlash.

If you (or someone you know) is struggling with addiction and is looking for help, I support you. Recovery can be rough, but you're so strong, and life can be so much better in the end. The fight is worth it. Stay safe, speak up, and be strong 💜

BARTROPIC! . . . a gender related to tropical bars & drinks! these drinks may be alcoholic or nonalcoholic but are all fruity and refreshing. this gender may feel relaxed and cool despite the tropical heat. this gender may be related to anything tropical & drink related, including songs like alcohol free by twice or characters & their skins. . . . the stripes do not have any specific meaning.

[PT: bartropic! END PT]

[IMAGE ID: two flags and then a divider.

the flags are almost the same, except the first additionally has a large symbol of a sun peaking out from behind a big tropical drink. the flags have 13 horizontal stripes. the top and bottom three are wavy and thin, while the rest are straight and equally thicker. from top to bottom, the colors are grey-purple, grey-indigo, red-pink, dull red-pink, red-orange, golden orange, dull golden, golden orange, sky blue, turquoise, medium green, turquoise, and light turquoise. there are pink cloud-like puffs randomly popping down from the top edge, and the same goes for the bottom edge but they're blue. the divider is a thin, solid black line. END ID]

O1 ; tagging @accessmogai for image ID. O2 ; requested by no one, coined by the hero! if anyone has already coined this, kindly let him know! O3 ; seeing as though this is her first time making a flag this complex, please let the prelude know if you like it. he appreciates any tips given to jaw.
