Description
Welcome to the ONLY non-religious addiction recovery podcast exploring the queer and neurodivergent (autism/ADHD/etc) experience of addiction recovery, sobriety, and harm reduction. We tell addiction recovery stories to destigmatize recovery while navigating life in the process of healing from addiction and trauma. We leave shame and purity politics at the door.
Start here! https://sites.libsyn.com/560715/why-do-i-keep-relapsing-youre-not-broken-heres-how-to-break-the-cycle
We talk about addiction recovery support from a radical lens, thinking outside the box and providing viable alternatives to 12-step programs. Defining and creating our own recovery/sobriety/harm-reduction lifestyle fosters the environment of empowerment and self-love necessary to change our habits. We uplift perspectives from queer and neurodivergent people (autism/ADHD/etc), exploring things like relapse prevention, coping with cravings, trauma, anxiety, socializing while sober, and other common struggles.
You can expect empowerment, encouragement, and a healing environment. We prioritize representation and recovery stories from queer, neurodivergent, and non-religious voices. The goal here is to leave with shame reducing harm reduction tools and strategies, while we have discussions about sobriety challenges, relapse, and mental health. You'll find guidance for secular and alternative recovery paths with a punk, stigma-free, and inclusive approach to healing.
Whether you're looking for a queer recovery podcast, neurodivergent sobriety support, or just want real talk about addiction and harm reduction, Recovery Demystified is here to provide clarity, compassion, and community. We explore the dusty corners, the gray areas, and we are here to show you that nobody is too far gone.
If you have ever felt left behind or pushed to the fringes of society, you are in the right place! Recovery for the rest of us!

At 9, Nick was a skater punk who felt like an outcast. Using meth gave him the confidence he was missing, but quite predictably, it didn't stay that way for long. Buckle up for Nick's story about growing up in Melbourne, watching his dad kick needles out of the driveway as a kid, finding that meth and heroin helped at first, and then watching it all spin out of control. If you're as afraid as I am of the phrase "unlimited xanax"... tune in for a harrowing tale of IV drug use, moving to another continent to escape the cycle (hint: it didn't work), robbing drug dealers, and getting sober in prison.

Logan is back to talk about sober dating, science and spirituality, and trying something different when it comes to anger management and emotional regulation. Do we have to date other sober people if we are in recovery? How can we respond to anger without falling into the same patterns? Is it possible to balance science, spirituality, and multiple approaches to addiction recovery simultaneously? Logan is here to talk about his sober years, his daily routines to stay on track, and how even the worst of life's events further galvanize his decision to stay sober.

Are your emotions overwhelming after you got sober? Or do you feel nothing at all? Navigating the unpredictable emotional landscape of sobriety can be a rocky road. In today's episode we talk about the grief of losing the substance, the process of allowing our brains to heal, and how addiction itself can be trauma. Whatever you're going through is normal, you're not broken, and you'll find some of my most helpful tips in this episode. Thanks for being here.

Dean Spade, author of Love in a F*cked Up World joins Early to talk about his story with sex and love addiction, work addiction, and how his childhood experiences shaped his relationships as an adult. He talks about how a lot of this stuff maybe isn't even an "addiction" and how perhaps we all have strange relationships to work under capitalism and sex and love within patriarchy. Buckle up as we enter another gray area and explore the question: Is sex and love addiction really addiction? Join us on Patreon! Book a Recovery Coaching call with Early! Donate to our nonprofit!
