Hi Sober Tribe and welcome to the sober gay socials podcast where we have honest conversations about addiction and recovery in the gay community.

I’m your host Stephen and this is episode 11

Now more often than not, we only tend hear stories about people who are smashing sobriety and living their best authentic lives, when in reality there are so many people out there who are continually struggling on a daily basis with their addiction and their ability to maintain long term sobriety.

Unfortunately, when people are struggling with their sobriety, there’s a fear that they may be seen as a failure or weak, and in turn this often intensifies any feelings of shame and guilt that they may already be feeling, having a knock on affect that keeps them stuck in active addiction.

So on today’s show we have Dan. He’s a recent member to the Sober Gay Socials group and he’s here to talk about his journey and his ongoing struggle with sobriety.

Hi Sober Tribe and welcome to the Sober Gay Socials podcast where we have honest conversations about addiction and recovery in the gay community.

I’m your host Stephen and this is episode 6

It’s PRIDE Month and I’m SOOOO excited as we’ve got so much going with our Sober Spaces.

We’ll be hosting the first ever sober spaces at both Salford Prides Pink Picnic which is on the 17th June and at Stockport Pride on the 30th July so come and find us there.

Plus following on from the success of our sober space at last years Manchester Pride - which just for the record was the first ever sober space to be held within a Gay Pride Event in the UK – we have been asked to come back again this year… so we’ve decided to create an even bigger and better space that will have a fully stocked alcohol free bar with the support of The Alcohol-Free Drinks Company along with some amazing events and acts lined up. The space will also be home to other Manchester based alcohol and drug recovery support groups and agencies… so there’s plenty to look forward to over the coming months.
