The AfterMeth: Gay Men Recovering from Crystal Methamphetamine Addiction
EP 2:22 Seven Years of Chemsex Recovery: Dallas’s Story
Supplementary Study Guide: https://www.drdallasbragg.com/newsletters/blog/posts/sevenyears
In this deeply personal episode of The AfterMeth Podcast, host Dr. Dallas Bragg reflects on his seven-year journey of being meth-free, sharing intimate details of his recovery process with unflinching honesty. Recorded in August 2025 to commemorate his seventh anniversary, this episode serves as both a celebration of his progress and a roadmap for men struggling with crystal meth addiction, particularly in the context of chemsex culture. Dr. Bragg chronicles each year of his recovery, from the structured early days under court supervision to building a thriving recovery coaching business and finally confronting the complexities of intimacy and relationships in sobriety.
The episode reveals the evolution of Dr. Bragg's recovery philosophy, which emphasizes that successful recovery is "about perception, not perfection." He candidly discusses the challenges each year brought, from trading one addiction for another (becoming addicted to recovery itself) to confronting deep-seated trauma through spiritual practices and psychedelic experiences. His journey includes profound moments of spiritual awakening, including an experience in the woods where he heard an audible voice saying "we've been waiting for you" after blocking dealers and users from his phone. Through practices like visualization, daily habit formation inspired by "Atomic Habits," and the development of what he calls a "prophetic vision," Dr. Bragg rebuilt his life from homelessness to becoming a successful entrepreneur helping others worldwide.
The podcast concludes with Dr. Bragg's current phase of recovery, where he's exploring intimacy and sexuality after seven years, describing it as "the final frontier." He emphasizes that even after seven years, recovery remains an ongoing process requiring vigilance and support systems, particularly as he recently experienced cravings when moving into his own place for the first time. Throughout the episode, he reinforces the message that recovery is possible for anyone, encouraging listeners to believe "I can do this too" while providing practical tools and honest insights about the realities of long-term recovery from crystal meth addiction.
