Story Submission

Sharing your personal story of - hope, healing, resilience, recovery, redemption - can be a cathartic and productive experience.


A Sober and Serene story is an inspirational, true story about personal experience with alcohol use disorder (AUD), sobriety and/or recovery.  It may be a personal story at some point in your recovery journey or it may be your experience with another person in your life that impacted you (i.e. alcoholic parent, spouse, sibling, child, friend). 


It is a story that touches the reader and helps them discover recovery principles they can use in their own lives. These stories are personal and filled with emotion and vivid images created by using the five senses to draw in the reader to feel that they are actually in the scene with the people in the story.


Sober and Serene stories are written in the first person and have a beginning, middle and an end. The stories often close on a high note or an inspirational takeaway.  Sober and Serene stories make the reader feel more hopeful, more thankful, more inspired, and more empowered.  A good Sober and Serene story causes tears, laughter, and feelings of resilience and redemption.
