Virgin Vodka Soda: The QueerRecovery Podcast
Virgin Vodka Soda is a podcast about queer life after the healing buzzwords wear off. I’m Mick Resendez — gay, sober, and done performing wellness. What started as a show about sobriety has evolved into something deeper: a space for high-functioning, emotionally fluent queer men who still feel stuck, spiraling, or like they’re faking it. Each episode is a raw, unfiltered dive into the messier side of growth — from dating and loneliness to body image, boundaries, and finally learning how to feel instead of just perform.
Sometimes it’s storytelling. Sometimes it’s coaching. Always honest. Always human. If you’ve done the work but still don’t feel whole… you’re not broken. You’re just ready for something real.

What do you do when you’ve ruined a weekend meant to celebrate someone you love? What happens when the fun runs out, but the feelings don’t?
In this episode, Mick shares one of the most personal and pivotal moments in his recovery journey — a blurry, emotional spiral that cracked something wide open. If you've ever mistaken chaos for connection or tried to drink away the discomfort, this one’s going to hit. Hard.
This is about memory, meaning, and the moment you ask yourself, “Where do I go from here?”
