What we have learned is obviously the LGBTQ community suffers more isolation, suffers more feeling of apartness and needs a place to feel included.
What does recovery look like for someone in the LGBTQ community? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason sit down with Matt to uncover the unique hurdles faced by LGBTQ individuals in their journey to sobriety. From higher risks of substance abuse due to isolation and societal pressures, to the glaring lack of tailored recovery programs, this conversation sheds light on a critical yet often overlooked aspect of addiction recovery.
Matt shares his personal experiences, painting a vivid picture of the intersection between LGBTQ identity and the path to sobriety. The discussion also touches on the profound impact of COVID-19 on in-person recovery meetings, emphasizing the need for inclusive support systems. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how bullying and harassment contribute to substance abuse risks, and why more research and resources are essential for LGBTQ-specific recovery efforts.
If you're curious about how inclusivity can transform recovery journeys, or if you're part of the LGBTQ community seeking relatable insights, this episode is a must-listen.
