From The Podcast
gAy A: The Queer Sober Hero Show
gAy A delivers inspiring stories about queer people in sobriety who are achieving amazing feats in their recovery, proving that we are all LGBTQIA+ sober heroes.If you are looking for a safe space where all queer people, no matter their gender, sexual orientation, age, length of sober time, or method of recovery are valid, this is the sober show for you. If you are sober, you are a hero! This show is not affiliated with any program or institution, so you will hear stories from alcoholics and addicts where people mention getting sober using recovery methods such as rehabilitation, both inpatient and outpatient rehabs, sober living, hospitals, and some of us who got sober at home on our own. Guests may mention twelve step programs like AA, CMA, SMART Recovery, or other methods, while accepting that no one answer is perfect for everyone.This podcast will provide valuable insights for any interested in learning more about queer recovery, from those of us with years or even decades of recovery under their belt, to people just beginning their sobriety journey, to even the sober curious or friends and family of alcoholics and addicts.Each week, host Sober Steve the Podcast Guy tries to answer the following questions in various formats and with different perspectives:· How do I get and stay sober in the queer community?· Can you have fun while being sober and gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer?· What does a sober life as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community look like?· Where do sober gay and queer people hang out?· How can I have good sex sober?· What are tips and tricks for early sobriety?· How can I get unstuck or out of this rut in my recovery?· How will my life change if I get sober?· Can you be queer and sober and happy?· How can I untangle sex and alcohol and drugs?Join Podchaser to...
