Sober Pride Gift Guide
If shopping is your cardio and you enjoy recovering out loud and celebrating Pride Month, then this is the curated #ADDTOCART list for you. At The Sober Curator, there is nothing we love more than supporting everyone in our recovery community. Love is love. Let’s celebrate the LGBTQ+ community all month long! We think we have curated some pretty great finds from small businesses that cater specifically to our recovery community. Plus, many of these small business merchants are also in recovery. How cool is that?

ATHLETIC BREWING: RAINBOW WALL
Named after one of Athlete Brewing’s favorite climbs in Red Rock Canyon, Rainbow Wall is their Pride Month brew. It’s a slightly hazy, highly citrusy, clean, and crisp Blood Orange IPA with skyscraping flavor and an abundance of heart. Athletic brewed it in collaboration with pro-LGBTQI+ climber Alex Johnson and with it, you can toast the entire LGBTQI+ community with arms open, belays on, and two words: be you.
In 2023, 100% of Rainbow Wall’s profits will go to organizations empowering the LGBTQIA+ community, like The OUT Foundation. Through their efforts, they’re removing barriers to access while empowering LGBTQI+ bodies and minds across the fitness space.
Sober Curator Pro Tip: Rainbow Wall is frequently sold out. Sign up for their email newsletter to be alerted when it comes back in stock!

KEY FACTS ABOUT THE LGBTQ+ RECOVERY COMMUNITY:
According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the Recovery Research Institute:
Gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals are 18 percent more likely to have alcohol use disorder and 20 percentmore likely to have substance use disorder.
77 percent of lesbian/gay/bisexual people and just 57 percent of those who identify as transgendered have access to healthcare.
LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to start drinking earlier and they have a greater likelihood of experiencing substance use disorder in their lifetime.
There is a higher risk of co-occurring mental disorders such as depression, and higher chances of poor physical health, activity limitations, chronic conditions, obesity, smoking, and binge drinking in the LGBTQ+ community due to their adverse experiences and healthcare status.
Transgender youth experience higher levels of depression, suicidality, self-harm, and eating disorders.
Gay men are three times more likely than straight men to have an eating disorder, and lesbian and bisexual women are twice as likely as straight women to suffer from binge eating.
People with co-occurring disorders are at a higher risk of fatal opioid overdose: this is 3 times higher for those with depression and six times higher for those with serious mental illness.
