There's a lot of truth in our community, the ugly in our community, the fact that people are uncomfortable, that sobriety is becoming a thing, there's a lot to it.
Step into the vibrant world of Logan Slaughter, an Arizona-born, NYC-bred drag queen known as 'Logan Hardcore'. In this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', Logan opens up about his journey from the glitzy stages of New York City to a life of sobriety. With accolades like Entertainer of the Year on Fire Island and Dance Artist of the Year at the NYC Glam Awards, Logan's career was skyrocketing.
Yet, behind the sequins and spotlights, he faced battles with drug and alcohol abuse that took him to dark places he never anticipated. Logan shares how gay clubs and venues became sanctuaries for him, providing essential human connections that fostered friendships, romance, and professional growth. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the prevalence of substance abuse in these spaces and how it affected his life.
Now in long-term recovery, Logan passionately advocates for sobriety for those who need and want it. His story is a candid exploration of identity, addiction, and the importance of community in the recovery process. Tune in to hear Logan's raw and honest reflections on his path to sobriety and how he's using his platform to spark meaningful conversations about recovery, even launching his own show, 'Hardcore SobrieTEA', during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and a deeper understanding of the intersection between LGBTQ+ culture and addiction recovery.
