Queer & Sober Denver is a social group that meets weekly. We start with a low-key activity at the beginning of the hour, followed by conversation with the group members. We are not a support group and don't have a sobriety program. Our community members often have different definitions of what it is to be "Sober" or "Queer," but we ask that everyone joins with a clear head free from mind-altering substances.
Meets weekly on Tuesdays, from 7pm-8pm, at The Center on Colfax, in the Library on the first floor
If you have any questions about accessibility or about the group, please reach out to Queer & Sober Denver via Instagram
