I can continue to push and try to control everyone around me, try to control whether it's my using or now in recovery, trying to control, I guess, the way that I feel about myself or the thing about myself or the things that happen in front of me. And I learned that I can only get through them when I stop pushing so hard.
What happens when you blend the challenges of early recovery with the journey of self-discovery in the queer community? In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', host Steve Bennet-Martin sits down with his best friend Ben to explore just that. Ben, a graduate student in clinical psychology, opens up about his favorite parts of sober life today and the invaluable support he's found within the queer community.
He shares candidly about entering recovery at a young age, battling ego, and the ongoing process of learning more about his sexuality while staying sober. Their conversation delves into the differences between the first few years of sobriety, the importance of challenging oneself, and how participating in initiatives like #TranSanta has been a part of his journey. With honesty and humor, Ben's reflections offer a heartfelt look at the complexities and joys of living a queer and sober life.
This episode is a beacon for anyone navigating similar paths, providing wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that recovery is a journey filled with growth and self-discovery.
