Honestly, alcoholism took it to the hell's gate, like knocking on death's door, and so anything in sobriety is better than the nothing I had in addiction.
Ever felt like fitting in was a struggle that led you down a dark path? In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', Steve Martin-Bennet chats with Klay Montgomery, who opens up about their raw and inspiring journey to sobriety. Klay shares the highs and lows of their battle with alcoholism, starting from binge drinking in their first gay relationship to hitting rock bottom.
It was a candid conversation with a medical provider at rehab that served as a wake-up call for Klay, who was told they were one of the worst cases the provider had ever seen. This pivotal moment set Klay on a path to recovery, and today, they manage a sober house in Lincoln, Nebraska. They emphasize the importance of community and the power of talking to someone sober every day.
Klay also reflects on how their sexuality played a role in their addiction, stressing that being different isn't a disability but something to embrace. Through daily recovery practices and staying connected with others, Klay has found strength and resilience. Their story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that community support can make all the difference. Tune in to hear Klay's transformative journey and gain insights into embracing your own path to sobriety.
