The AfterMeth Podcast tackles one of the most heavily stigmatized intersections in chemsex recovery — the moral injury that can arise when men find themselves exposed to, or participants in, content and behavior during crystal meth use that violates their own values, including child pornography, non-consensual acts, and other taboo material. In this episode, Dallas is joined by Scott Stolarick, a licensed master's level clinician with over three decades of experience and the founder of Mosaic Pathway Counseling in Gurney, Illinois. Scott spent 26 years evaluating and treating sex offenders, and his rare combination of legal-system knowledge and deep clinical compassion makes him uniquely equipped to help listeners understand the landscape they may be navigating — whether they face charges, carry private shame, or both. Together, Scott and Dallas explore how the clinical and legal worlds often collide in painful ways, and why engagement, honesty, and building a history with a qualified therapist are essential first steps toward healing.
A central theme of this conversation is the distinction between acceptance and approval — a framework Scott introduces to help men make peace with parts of themselves without endorsing harmful behavior. Rather than fighting or suppressing urges born from chemically altered states, Scott encourages a concentric circle model of accountability: starting from what a person can own, and working gradually inward toward fuller self-reckoning. Dallas brings his own vulnerability to the episode, sharing a personal example of how meth-fueled conversations crossed his own boundaries in ways that took significant time to process in recovery. The message is clear and compassionately delivered — you are not alone in what you witnessed, said, or felt during active use, and the path forward requires not self-condemnation, but structured, shame-informed therapeutic work with a clinician who truly understands this population.
