About Recovery Demystified
Welcome to the ONLY non-religious addiction recovery podcast exploring the queer and neurodivergent (autism/ADHD/etc) experience of addiction recovery, sobriety, and harm reduction. We tell addiction recovery stories to destigmatize recovery while navigating life in the process of healing from addiction and trauma. We leave shame and purity politics at the door. Start here! https://sites.libsyn.com/560715/why-do-i-keep-relapsing-youre-not-broken-heres-how-to-break-the-cycle We talk about addiction recovery support from a radical lens, thinking outside the box and providing viable alternatives to 12-step programs. Defining and creating our own recovery/sobriety/harm-reduction lifestyle fosters the environment of empowerment and self-love necessary to change our habits. We uplift perspectives from queer and neurodivergent people (autism/ADHD/etc), exploring things like relapse prevention, coping with cravings, trauma, anxiety, socializing while sober, and other common struggles. You can expect empowerment, encouragement, and a healing environment. We prioritize representation and recovery stories from queer, neurodivergent, and non-religious voices. The goal here is to leave with shame reducing harm reduction tools and strategies, while we have discussions about sobriety challenges, relapse, and mental health. You'll find guidance for secular and alternative recovery paths with a punk, stigma-free, and inclusive approach to healing. Whether you're looking for a queer recovery podcast, neurodivergent sobriety support, or just want real talk about addiction and harm reduction, Recovery Demystified is here to provide clarity, compassion, and community. We explore the dusty corners, the gray areas, and we are here to show you that nobody is too far gone. If you have ever felt left behind or pushed to the fringes of society, you are in the right place! Recovery for the rest of us!

Staying Sober (and Even Happy) While the World Falls Apart
Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] And I live in a cabin in the woods. My closest neighbors are native dudes that are hillbillies. And then I have another like queer neighbor. And yeah, that's my like general living situation and general demographic information, if that's helpful for context. But something that I often think of is that as a person who's from an intersectional identity, historically marginalized community, my human rights are being legislated and taken away. And in response to that, I feel like inherently my joy is an act of of resistance. And I like to embody that when I'm working towards my own self-care, when I'm working towards my own healing, when I'm taking time to rest or prioritize myself or do anything that makes me feel good.
