And now my watch begins : (almost) 8 years of sobriety my way AKA staying sober while staying woke / by Golden Collier.

"My third zine of making it to (almost) 8 years sobriety my way, staying sober while staying woke. Hand crafted font created just for this project! This joint [zine] delves into, among other things: a new framework I've been working on - RECOVERY JUSTICE!; staying sober and practicing harm reduction during the pandemic and uprisings; Rayshard Brooks and the unacceptable anti-Blackness embedded in drug enforcement; the resilience of marginalized communities; building my own personal recovery program and what that's been like to maintain so far; accountability and recovery; the continuing work to hold radical healing spaces for Black queer and trans folks in recovery; retooling recovery under the anxieties, trials, and tragedies of COVID; the elegance of harm reduction and the unearned hegemony of 12 step; the history of substances as a tool of capitalism, colonialism, and slow genocide against black folks; the gaslighting of marginalized people's around "outside issues"; finding and joining one of the only inpatient lgbt recovery programs in the country; finding and then losing my first ever home group!"--From Brown Recluse Zine Distro's website https://www.brownreclusezinedistro.com/shop/p/amp-now-my-watch-begins
