It's portrayed in this scary way, this failure way that's wrapped in shame. If we could take a different approach based on what has worked, I think we need to take a different approach to it so that we can have a better percentage of people being sober faster and longer, especially when it comes to gay men and crystal meth.
Picture this: you're living a 'normal' life, following all the societal norms, but deep down, you're hiding a part of yourself. That's exactly what Dr. Dallas Bragg experienced until he came out as gay at the age of 36. In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Louise Barnett sits down with Dallas to uncover his story of shame, addiction, and ultimately, redemption. After coming out, Dallas faced an overwhelming amount of shame from his upbringing.
This emotional turmoil led him to crystal meth, a drug that temporarily numbed his pain and made him feel desirable. But as we all know, the relief drugs provide is fleeting and often leads to a darker path. Dallas shares how he hit rock bottom and the steps he took to climb back up. His journey through addiction and recovery is nothing short of inspiring.
He opens up about the challenges he faced within the gay community and how these experiences shaped his path to self-love and healing. Today, Dallas uses his experiences to help other gay men struggling with addiction. Through his coaching business, he aims to reduce shame and break the cycles that lead to relapse. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's about finding the courage to be true to yourself and the power of self-acceptance.
If you're looking for a story that combines vulnerability with resilience, this one's for you.
