    Leaving Sex Work and Drugs Behind: Bailey’s Story (Subscriber Exclusive)

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  Bailey has known addiction all her life. Her father was an addict, and she writes to me that she was “born with a backpack on her back”, meaning she was constantly being moved around between her mum’s, her dad’s and her nana’s. This instability ultimately led to Bailey slipping through the cracks. She was drinking by 11 and using ice by 16, while she was still in school. Shortly after, she fell pregnant and ultimately decided to have her first termination. Bailey went on to enter abusive relationships and is incredibly honest about the times when she was the aggressor and abusive herself. But the one drug that remained constant throughout her life was weed, which eventually sent her into psychosis, not once but twice. Bailey went on to do OnlyFans before entering full-service sex work in a brothel, and it wasn’t until she met her partner that Bailey decided to begin the process of getting sober and leaving sex work behind.

    Addiction Is the Language of Pain with Psychotherapist Paula Williams

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  This week, I’m joined by award-winning psychotherapist Paula Williams to explore why we can continue behaviours we know aren’t good for us, even when we desperately want to change. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Paula explains the different parts of ourselves and why one part can want to let go while another still clings to a behaviour. We discuss people-pleasing, replacing one addiction with another, relapse and the ways addiction can shape an entire family system across generations. And what does recovery look like when sobriety is no longer the end goal, but the beginning? Disclaimer: The stories and experiences shared in this episode are personal accounts told in good faith.

    The Policewoman Who Found Recovery (Subscriber Exclusive)

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  Nisha calls herself The Cockney Copper on social media. She’s a police officer, and the first I’ve ever had on Soberly Speaking. Nisha grew up as a South Asian woman where generational trauma was never spoken about. Emotions were swept under the rug, and keeping up appearances was everything. When she felt like she didn’t belong, alcohol became her way of finding connection. Even after getting sober, that feeling returned when she joined the police force and found herself surrounded by work drinks and socialising. Eventually, she relapsed. We talk about relapse, how to emotionally regulate when your job exposes you to some of the darkest parts of the world every day, and how Nisha navigated recovery through miscarriage and baby loss.

    Debt, Multiple Relapses & Going All In on AA: Alex’s Story

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  “I was a horizontal drinker” Alex’s relationship with alcohol and substances had always been extreme, but when a business partner left him tens of thousands of dollars in debt, the financial pressure catapulted his drinking and coke use to another level. Before long, he was hiding whiskey under his pillow so he could wake up, drink, and pass out again. Alex’s journey with sobriety has been anything but linear. After becoming physically dependent on alcohol, he suffered a seizure while trying to go cold turkey and relapsed multiple times. Even after finally quitting alcohol, Alex admits he wasn’t happy in sobriety. After travelling to Colombia for an ayahuasca ceremony, Alex relapsed and brought his drinking back to the UK. When he eventually sought help, he made the decision to go all in on AA, something he had never truly done before.

    When the Perpetrator Is Family: Aunee’s Story (Part 2)

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  This is the second and final part of Aunee’s two-part interview. We continue our conversation as Aunee opens up about the depths of her alcohol dependence, including constantly blacking out and reaching a point where she had no care for her children. She reflects on the neglect her children experienced, and how her eldest two never really got to have a childhood. Aunee was eventually tapered off alcohol by her father before entering detox and then spending months in rehab. She finishes this two-part series by reflecting on how she went from being a victim of abuse to becoming an abuser herself, and the trail of destruction that followed.

    From Meth Addiction to Motherhood: The Relapse Sam Never Saw Coming (Subscriber Exclusive)

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  How do you go from dealing meth, to getting sober for 12 years, only to have alcohol come in and destroy everything? That’s exactly what happened to Samantha. Growing up, Sam always felt like she had a racing mind. Alcohol was the first thing that made her anxiety disappear, but when meth and GHB entered her life, it felt like she had finally found something powerful enough to quiet the noise. What started as weekend partying quickly escalated into something much darker. Samantha went from using drugs to buying and selling large quantities, until a SWAT raid changed everything and she found herself facing federal charges and serving time in prison. But Samantha survived. She rebuilt her life, overcame her meth addiction, and spent the next 12 years sharing her story through inspirational talks and supporting others on their own recovery journeys. Then she became a mother. And during that season of her life, Samantha found herself facing her deepest battle yet.

    How His Son’s Autism Diagnosis Saved Joby’s Life (Subscriber Exclusive)

    Join our Patreon: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking⁠  Most people have a certain image of someone addicted to crack cocaine. Someone earning almost a million dollars a year probably isn't it. Joby was building a successful career in a high-pressure industry, and to keep up, snorting cocaine became part of the job. It made him feel awake, sharp and unstoppable. But cocaine wasn't enough forever. It became crack cocaine. Then meth to keep him going. Then heroin just so he could sleep. Everything changed when his son was born. At five years old, Joby's son was diagnosed with autism, and in that moment, Joby realised he had a choice to make. If he wanted to be the father his son deserved, his addiction couldn't come first anymore. Today, Joby is sober and dedicates his life to giving back. He's a passionate advocate for the autism community and the Special Olympics. Follow Joby on Instagram here: @JobySanchezOfficial RPSAPPAREL.com donates 10% of all profits to Autism Society of Texas. Every purchase helps support autism advocacy, awareness and resources for the community.
