You need to be able to reach out to other people, because I've realized, going out to weddings and parties now that I'm not the only one sober there I can find at least one or two other people now.
Ever felt like no one truly gets what you're going through? In this episode of 'The Sober Gay', hosts Dillan and Aubrey tackle the concept of being 'terminally unique'—that nagging feeling of being so different that you think no one else can relate to your struggles. It's a common hurdle in sobriety, especially within the LGBT+ community. Dillan and Aubrey share their personal journeys, from the challenges of coming out to the ongoing battle against societal norms.
They highlight how this mindset can be a stumbling block in sobriety and emphasize the importance of reaching out for support. With a mix of humor and raw honesty, they also delve into how neoliberal politics shape societal attitudes and affect public perception. Through candid discussions, they show that feeling 'terminally unique' is more common than you might think and that there's strength in connecting with others who share similar experiences.
As Dillan puts it, 'You need to be able to reach out to other people, because I've realized, going out to weddings and parties now that I'm not the only one sober there I can find at least one or two other people now'. This episode isn't just about highlighting struggles; it's about finding hope and community. Dillan and Aubrey's conversation is both comforting and enlightening, making it clear that you're never truly alone on your journey to sobriety.
