To submit a post, please send it to cryingoutnow@gmail.com. There are three sober women (Ellie, Robin and Val - please see our bios in the "Who We Are" tab) who are co-moderators, and who have access to this email account. If you do not wish to use your personal email, you can open an anonymous yahoo, gmail or hotmail account for free to submit a post.
Crying Out Now is a place for women to share their stories of drinking, addiction and recovery openly and honestly. You do not need to be sober to submit a post; if you are wondering about your drinking, we want to hear from you. You do not need to be a writer or blogger.
If you are concerned about anonymity, you can choose to submit your post using a pseudonym or anonymously. If you would like to link back to your blog, that's fine, too.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
Please keep submissions to 1000 words or less.
Please speak only about yourself - tell your story, share your feelings and not anyone else's.
If you are the loved one or friend of an alcoholic, we want to hear from you, too; addiction effects everyone around the alcoholic or addict. If you would like to submit a post as the loved one of an alcoholic or addict, please tell YOUR STORY. This is not a place to vent or insult .. it is a place of open, honest healing.
Please let us know how you would like to be known for your submission; you can use a pseudonym, post anonymously, or link back to a blog or twitter account.
