gAy A delivers inspiring stories about queer people in sobriety who are achieving amazing feats in their recovery, proving that we are all LGBTQIA+ sober heroes.
If you are looking for a safe space where all queer people, no matter their gender, sexual orientation, age, length of sober time, or method of recovery are valid, this is the sober show for you. If you are sober, you are a hero!
This show is not affiliated with any program or institution, so you will hear stories from alcoholics and addicts where people mention getting sober using recovery methods such as rehabilitation, both inpatient and outpatient rehabs, sober living, hospitals, and some of us who got sober at home on our own. Guests may mention twelve step programs like AA, CMA, SMART Recovery, or other methods, while accepting that no one answer is perfect for everyone.
This podcast will provide valuable insights for any interested in learning more about queer recovery, from those of us with years or even decades of recovery under their belt, to people just beginning their sobriety journey, to even the sober curious or friends and family of alcoholics and addicts.
Each week, host Sober Steve the Podcast Guy tries to answer the following questions in various formats and with different perspectives:
· How do I get and stay sober in the queer community?

· Can you have fun while being sober and gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer?

· What does a sober life as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community look like?

· Where do sober gay and queer people hang out?

· How can I have good sex sober?

· What are tips and tricks for early sobriety?

· How can I get unstuck or out of this rut in my recovery?

· How will my life change if I get sober?

· Can you be queer and sober and happy?

· How can I untangle sex and alcohol and drugs?

Send us a text In this episode of Gay A: The Queer Sober Hero Show , host Steve is joined by the amazing Holland, who shares his journey to recovery, approach to spirituality, and how sobriety has transformed his life. Holland, who celebrates a sobriety date of February 2, 2022, opens up about growing up in Hawaii and Alaska, their struggles with addiction, and finding their way back to recovery after a series of challenges. Holland also discusses the importance of service, humility, and staying connected to their queer and recovery communities. Key Topics Discussed: Holland’s early years in Hawaii and Alaska and their experience with addiction starting at a young age. The challenges of balancing recovery and spirituality and how embracing ambiguity with their higher power has been a game-changer. How sobriety has allowed them to process big feelings and lean on tools like therapy, service, and community connection. The power of service in recovery, from giving rides to newcomers to being active in the service structure of AA. Navigating friendships, relationships, and dating as a queer person in recovery and the importance of setting boundaries and standards.

A focus on progress over perfection and the mantra, “Let go, let God,” that keeps them grounded.

You deserve good things now.” Resources Mentioned: Book : Every Feeling Is Big – A poetry book about heartbreak and relationships in recovery.

Send us a text In this episode of gAy A , your queer sober hero show, I’m sharing holiday tips and tricks to help you navigate the festive season while staying sober. Whether you’re celebrating your first holiday in recovery or just looking for a little extra support, this episode dives into advice from listeners and my own experience on avoiding triggers, setting boundaries, and thriving through the season. I’m also celebrating 1300 days of continuous sobriety and reflecting on the tools and community that have helped me along the way. If the holidays feel overwhelming, you’re not alone, and we’ve got you covered! Episode Highlights: Why the Holidays Are Challenging for Sobriety: Unrealistic expectations for joy and happiness can amplify feelings of isolation. Family dynamics and alcohol-heavy work events can be major triggers. Reflection on the past year may bring up both positive and difficult emotions. Listener Advice for Staying Sober: “If you feel stressed or tempted, just leave. You always have a way out.” – Laura “Avoid triggers at all costs. Prepare mentally for difficult situations.” – J Dusty Grimes “Sobriety is the best gift you’ll ever receive. Stay humble and grateful.” – Charlie Gray Practical Sobriety Tips: Use HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) to avoid emotional pitfalls. Set boundaries for yourself and plan an exit strategy for challenging events. Lean on sober support systems like meetings, literature, or sobriety podcasts. Focus on mindfulness and breathing exercises to manage stress in real-time. My Reflections on Celebrating Without Alcohol: Learning to embrace sobriety as a gift. How recovery tools and planning have helped me navigate triggers. The joy of celebrating milestones and holidays sober and authentically. Want to Share Your Story?
