gAy A: The Queer Sober Hero Show

著者: Steve Bennet-Martin
  • サマリー

  • 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?

    In this episode of gAy A, your queer sober hero show, I’m sharing holiday tips and tricks to help you navigate the festive season while staying sober. Whether you’re celebrating your first holiday in recovery or just looking for a little extra support, this episode dives into advice from listeners and my own experience on avoiding triggers, setting boundaries, and thriving through the season.

    I’m also celebrating 1300 days of continuous sobriety and reflecting on the tools and community that have helped me along the way. If the holidays feel overwhelming, you’re not alone, and we’ve got you covered!

    Episode Highlights:

    • Why the Holidays Are Challenging for Sobriety:
      • Unrealistic expectations for joy and happiness can amplify feelings of isolation.
      • Family dynamics and alcohol-heavy work events can be major triggers.
      • Reflection on the past year may bring up both positive and difficult emotions.
    • Listener Advice for Staying Sober:
      • “If you feel stressed or tempted, just leave. You always have a way out.” – Laura
      • “Avoid triggers at all costs. Prepare mentally for difficult situations.” – J Dusty Grimes
      • “Sobriety is the best gift you’ll ever receive. Stay humble and grateful.” – Charlie Gray
    • Practical Sobriety Tips:
      • Use HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) to avoid emotional pitfalls.
      • Set boundaries for yourself and plan an exit strategy for challenging events.
      • Lean on sober support systems like meetings, literature, or sobriety podcasts.
      • Focus on mindfulness and breathing exercises to manage stress in real-time.
    • My Reflections on Celebrating Without Alcohol:
      • Learning to embrace sobriety as a gift.
      • How recovery tools and planning have helped me navigate triggers.
      • The joy of celebrating milestones and holidays sober and authentically.

  • Addiction and Zodiac Signs Revisited
    2024/12/05

    Send us a text

    Episode Description:
    Hey there, Super Sober Heroes! This week on Gay A, I’m diving back into the vault to revisit one of my earliest episodes on astrology and addiction. Originally recorded at just 105 days sober, this episode explores how our zodiac signs might influence our relationship with alcohol.

    But that’s not all—I'm adding fresh insights and exploring a new article on zodiac signs and their connections to other addictive tendencies. Whether you’re a Leo who loves to splurge (looking at you, Amazon cart), or a Pisces drawn to emotional escapism, there's something here for everyone.

    So, does your sign align with your past or present tendencies? Let's break it down together!

    What’s Next?
    ✨ Listen to the full episode and share your thoughts on how your zodiac sign aligns with your past habits.
    ✨ Join the conversation: Email me, text the show, or connect on socials @GayAPodcast.
    ✨ Don’t forget to follow Gay A for weekly episodes every Thursday!
