And I don't think I ever would have dug deep and learned about my own sexuality if I didn't get sober first.
Ever wondered how sexuality and sobriety intersect? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-host Tawny Lara teams up with special guest Irina Gonzalez to explore their unique journeys as bisexual individuals in recovery. The duo dives into the stereotypes and misconceptions that often surround bisexuality, like the myth that being bi means being promiscuous or confused. Spoiler alert: It doesn't! They also discuss how popular TV characters have shaped public perceptions of bisexuality, for better or worse.
Remember Karen from 'Will & Grace'? Yeah, she's part of the conversation too. Irina opens up about her personal experience of realizing she was queer and how sobriety has helped her embrace her identity. Tawny shares her own story, reflecting on how quitting alcohol has opened new doors to self-discovery. Together, they tackle how drinking once clouded their views of themselves and how being sober has brought clarity and confidence.
The episode isn't just about breaking down myths; it's also packed with practical advice. Whether you're questioning your sexuality or looking for ways to support someone who is, Tawny and Irina offer resources and tips to help you along the way. They even throw in some musical fun with a nod to 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' songs like 'Gettin' Bi' and 'Heavy Boobs'. So if you're curious about how bisexuality intersects with the recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a candid, heartfelt conversation that sheds light on important issues while offering plenty of laughs and aha moments. Tune in and let Tawny and Irina guide you through their experiences, breaking down barriers and building understanding.
