I don't believe I would have ever started doing drag if I hadn't left na, revoked my step one and started to drink.
Ever felt the pull between the family you're born into and the one you choose? In this episode of 'Not In Vein', Honour Script steps away from the interviewer role to share their own story. As a drag performer and recovered ex-addict, Honour dives deep into the importance of chosen family within the queer community and how it plays a pivotal role in recovery.
They discuss 'recovery capital'—the resources one can draw upon to overcome addiction—and how these elements contribute to a fulfilling life post-addiction. Honour doesn't shy away from critiquing the 12-step programs, offering a candid look at both their benefits and limitations, including issues of codependency that can arise in sponsorship relationships. On a more personal note, Honour opens up about their spiritual journey.
Raised in a Christian household, they transitioned through atheism before finding a surprising connection with Inanna, an ancient Sumerian goddess. This spiritual evolution has been integral to their healing process, helping them find forgiveness and move past trauma. This episode is packed with raw insights, heartfelt reflections, and practical advice for anyone navigating addiction, mental health challenges, or seeking to understand the queer experience in recovery.
