gAy A: The Queer Sober Hero Show

By: Steve Bennet-Martin
  • Summary

  • 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?

  • Addiction and Zodiac Signs Revisited
    Dec 5 2024

    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.

Made a different for me

I’m returning to a sober lifestyle after 2 years trying to make it work. Being gay in the south in my 30s, I’ve found that feeling welcome and connected was tough. Having this podcast and relating to so many in my community that suffer from my disease has really made me have hope again, be excited about my journey, and feel connected. Thank you Steve
