My Other Coming Out Story as an Opioid Addict Artwork

Wives Not Sisters

A playful, unfiltered podcast where a married wlw couple dives into the chaos of modern relationships, pop culture, queer lore, and all the little things most people wouldn’t admit out loud.

Wives Not Sisters is a queer-led podcast where marriage meets humor, honesty, and a little too much sharing but in the best way. We’re here to normalize nuance in relationships -- from romantic, platonic, familial, and everything in between- and to create a space where deep conversations and dumb jokes can coexist. Through real talk, playful debates, and just enough oversharing, we’re building a community that’s reflective, ridiculous, and radically relatable.

This is a really tough share for me, because this is something I’ve kept hidden for years.

In the spirit of “fuck shame,” I’m coming clean and sharing my story for the first time.

In this episode I talk about:

-The blog post where I write in depth about my story.

-The timeline of my addiction (from 2017 to present day).

-How addiction manifests in my mind and body.

-Red flags I look out for when considering my relationship to other substances.

-Where I stand on sobriety.
