There's something about acceptance that leads us to our most genuine self... what an acceptance looks like to a young gay person today- is very different than the acceptance journey that you know I went through.
Ever wondered how self-acceptance plays into sobriety, especially within the LGBT+ community? In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', host Steve Martin-Bennet sits down with returning guest Mark to unpack this very topic. Mark opens up about the hurdles he's faced in accepting his sexuality, his addiction, and ultimately himself. The conversation dives deep into the transformative power of therapy and the steps they've both taken to tackle self-doubt and shame.
Steve reflects on his own rollercoaster journey through the decades, sharing how the social climate of the 70s, 80s, and 90s shaped his experiences. Both Steve and Mark highlight how crucial community support has been in their paths to self-acceptance and sobriety. This episode isn't just about personal stories; it's a reminder that no one has to walk this path alone.
Whether you're grappling with similar issues or simply looking for inspiration, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the universal struggle for self-acceptance.
