I need you to know that there really is sex after meth.
Good sex.
Great sex.
And, better yet, there is looooove after meth.
But don't take my word for it!
In this episode, Dave Becker shares his journey of redis...
Would you refer to an African American as the "N" word?
How about calling two gay men walking down the street "A couple of F-ggots"?
How about a homeless person acting erratically on the street, a "Psycho"?

I started as many of us do: a Weekend Warrior.
Every other Friday night (I had the kids every other week) was my solo night with Tina.
I'd smoke a bowl, and for some odd reason, I would put on makeup, attempt crafting projects, and take hundreds of selfies.
Who is THAT person??
Saturday, I wo...
As a military brat, I grew up in trailer parks along the coast of North Carolina.
Instant neighborhood of other military brats.
A huge fenced-in playground was in the center of one of the parks. I remember playing there until the "street lights came on," the universal Gen X sign that it was ti...

I had been abstinent from meth for almost two years and about 8 months into my spiritual journey (for the full story of how I began that journey, tune into Episode 1:2 Dallas's Story).
The "sitter" or "guide"...
What a miserable existence. Feeling unhappy and constantly triggered for your entire life.
That was my reality.
I can remember feeling sad as a boy into my early adulthood. I mean, the pictures prove it:
I always believed as soon as I had "that", life would feel happy. "That" was never eno...

What was the one thing that kept me actively using Meth?
Without a doubt, it was Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
The nuance that makes the Tina world different than other stubstances, is that we as gay men know that at ANYtime and ANYwhere there will be a chemsex parTy.
It is like a child who live...

After receiving my number from the front desk, I found a seat in the crowd.
The atrium was packed, but I managed to find a solo chair.
Chatter echoed across the A-frame ceilings, occasionally interrupted by the shrieks from unruly children.
Their mothers yelling commands in vain.
