There's just so many positives that have come out to non-drinking and it just doesn't make it worth it when you look back at it, not only the money you spent, but just all the fake relationships you have and those just surface level relationships you have at a bar, those aren't deep, those aren't meaningful.
Ever wondered how one's sexuality can shape their journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', host Steve Martin-Bennet sits down with Wes, who opens up about their path to a sober life. Wes recounts how drinking initially boosted their popularity but never truly brought them joy. They dive into the complex interplay between their sexuality and addiction, sharing candid insights on the highs and lows of their journey.
Wes also talks about the unexpected benefits of quitting alcohol, like forming deeper, more meaningful relationships. However, they don't shy away from discussing the hurdles, such as navigating social networks while sober and the vital importance of putting oneself first. The conversation wraps up with a look at Wes' own podcast, 'Two Bottles Deep', and the inspiration behind its name.
This episode offers a raw, relatable look at sobriety in the LGBTQ+ community, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking support and understanding.
