Recover Alaska

Hello community! Recover Alaska is excited to lift up a unique community event coming up this August!

The Q***r Alaska Fellowship of AA will be hosting the first ever, Q***r AF Recovery Retreat! The retreat will be at Camp K on Kenai Lake, August 21st, 22nd and 23rd. This retreat welcomes 18+ folks of all genders and identities who self describes as “in recovery” from a drug or alcohol. While this is a q***r retreat that aims to help LGBTQIA2S+ folks celebrate our q***rness and support one another in our recovery journeys, no one will be turned away, allies are welcome. There will be speakers from a number of 12 step recovery programs and lots of fun activities! There will be crafts, outdoor activities, a sauna and lake time with our very own lifeguard!

This event is being hosted Q***r Ideas of Fun, the only LGBTQIA2S+ AA meeting in Anchorage. While this event is oriented around the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, we are a group of q***r people that welcome all programs of recovery. Attendees do not need to regularly attend 12 step groups to enjoy the retreat. We hope to foster an experience in which attendees have the opportunity to connect with q***r people and allies in recovery for the goal of mutual aid. This retreat will be charging $150 in tuition, but some need based scholarships are available. We want all those who are interested in attending to have the opportunity to participate, wherever possible.

Connection was at the center of it all. 🧡

Recover Alaska team members Sara and Kara spent time this month connecting with attendees at our booth during the Pathways to Recovery Conference and sharing resources from the Choose Connection campaign.

Every conversation matters. Every connection matters. And together, we can help create communities where people feel supported, seen, and less alone.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and learn more about building connection across Alaska.
