Share your story
We believe that when we share our personal experiences, we humanize the conversation and create connections that can drive change. If you have a lived experience with substance use or recovery, we want to hear from you. Whether it’s about the challenges you’ve faced, the moments that shaped your journey, or the support systems that helped you along the way—your story matters. Your voice can inspire others and help shift the conversation towards understanding, empathy, and action. Submit your story today and be part of this movement to change how we talk about substance use, addiction, and recovery. Together, we can create a world where no one feels alone in their struggles.

Any comments deemed inappropriate, harmful, or disrespectful will be removed immediately, and repeat offenders may be blocked to maintain a safe space for all.

Follow-Up and Aftercare: After the story is published, we will check in with participants to offer continued support, see if they have any concerns, and remind them of their right to remove or adjust their content at any time.
Transparency in Story Use: Participants are always informed of how their story will be used within the campaign and have the option to opt out of specific campaign components if they feel it does not align with their comfort level or original intent.
These safeguards aim to ensure that participants feel safe and empowered throughout their journey with Someone’s Someone, supporting them in sharing their stories as authentically as they choose
