"What makes the tina epidemic so unique is the range of men using. Hi I'm Dallas and I help gay men break free from tina addiction. When you get into the tina scene you find that high-functioning affluent community established men with strong relationships are secretly struggling with tina misuse. Here's the thing - no matter how culturally well you are doing on the outside we are all running from our own unresolved trauma and emotional issues on the inside. You aren't exempt and you are just like anyone else who puts meth in their body. Just because you aren't homeless yet doesn't mean it"

"The story of my fall from Grace from having a doctorate degree and being a college professor is actually not that uncommon. Many gay men who come out late in life find the substance crystal or you can say Tina and it temporarily makes them feel like they have found what theyve been waiting for all their life. And for me Im mistakenly thought that having this substance would make me popular and make all the guys come around. I didnt realize that I was just being used. So after some time and losing everything I had I had to go to other means of making money. Those are the things that we do when"

"In this weeks episode of The AfterMeth I take over the episode to respond to a listener letter. In this letter a listener speaks of living in constant fear and being dependent on meetings to survive. I believe this is not emotional sobriety and question whether this is sobriety at all. Living in addiction recovery means being self-actualized meaning seeking your fullest potential of life every day. I explain more in this episode.

"I guess all of us have our stories from being addicted to Crystal meth. This one is a tender one for me to share. Very vulnerable but every time I share something like this I hear back from other people how its healing for them. But this was a pivotal moment in my life and one that affected the rest of my life because I contracted HIV the addiction will always tell you lies. I will always persuade you to use and it always knows exactly what to say and how to say it that appeals to your deepest needs.

"Addiction recovery is a journey especially for those who've experienced meth-induced psychosis. To those in the LGBTQ community struggling with this: Trust your experiences. What you saw and felt was real to you. Acknowledge the spiritual aspect some find in their experiences. Avoid obsessing or trying to prove it to others who don't understand. Accept what happened and focus on moving forward. LGBTQ mental health is complex and drug-related experiences add another layer. Remember becoming drug-free is possible and you don't have to figure it out alone. Your journey to recovery is valid."

"The silent undertow of crystal meth addiction: What starts as a carefree high slowly drags you into dangerous depths. You're having fun disconnected from reality when suddenly you realize you're alone in deep waters. No bottom no anchor just fear. Don't be fooled - that undercurrent is relentless.

"The first steps are so simple yet so difficult. Quitting Tina first requires cutting off access. This is what will happen if you go to drug treatment so you might as well mimic the process if you arent planning to admit yourself. The #1 way we access Tina is through Grindr and other geosocial dating apps. The #2 way we access it is through old using buddies and dealers. So it only makes sense to first change your number so you dont have their contact information and they dont have yours. And then put parental blocks on your phone so you cannot even access apps to find it. You may feel like a"

"Sometimes I liken crystal meth to an old snake oil salesman. The ones who would travel from town to town selling fake elixirs to cure everything from gout to baldness. Crystal promises a fix-all to your deepest and darkest problems. Something that no one else or nothing else could ever cure. Obviously this is a lie.

"Sometimes as attics we just need an excuse to use. That might sound harsh but for my own experience it was true for me. It all comes down to regulating your emotions but even further than that is regulating the behavior that follows the emotion. Youre allowed to have strong emotions and youre allowed to have your experience as it relates to the US elections. But when you allow those emotions to take over then you become impulsive and you switch over into auto pilot and addict mode and you begin making decisions that are in alignment with your true self. if youre upset about who won the"

"Understanding the addiction cycle is one of the most important elements of long-term sobriety. Becoming the compassionate observer of yourself including your thought processes your emotional patterns and your behaviors will put you in the student mode and allow you to find all the clues necessary to understand your addiction.

"Are you a weekend Tina user Do you have it nicely planned for when to start using it on Friday and how much to use so that you can report to work on Monday morning This type of lifestyle seems fun and doable at first but it doesnt last long. Soon the substance creeps into your week and slowly takes over your life. For my weekend warrior clients we have to double down and plan out almost every second of the weekend to ensure there isnt a relapse. You see the brain is trained to prepare the body for use every weekend and will begin pouring dopamine and other good-feeling hormones into the body"

"I want to walk you out of the darkness and into the light of awareness and freedom. My clients have come to me because: Theyve tried rehab often multiple times. Theyve tried 12-step programs; years of being in the rooms; Theyve tried talk therapy; Theyve tried to help family and friends understand the nature of meth addiciton; Theyve tried everything they know and feel hopeless and helpless. But the way I run my program by reprogramming the subconscious reframing the meaning of relapse and anchoring into self-empowerment instead of shame and fear tactics. Those guys I showed you earlier were"

"So many are stuck in the relapse cycle because they are not in control of their subconscious. The beliefs about themselves live there and are controlling their lives. The belief that I am not enough has been adopted by so many addicts and they have accepted this narrative as their truth. So thats why relapse and active addiction feels normal to them. It feels comfortable. It feels like what they deserve. If a narrative can be given to you then a narrative can be changed by you. It takes time consistency and practice to reprogram your subconscious. To adopt new beliefs about yourself. But you"

"The best part of being in addiction recovery is having the opportunity to step into your power and connect to your body enough so that you can discern whats right and whats wrong for you. Theres been a prevailing philosophy and viewpoint in the recovery industry that one must follow what everyone else has done in order to achieve the results of abstinence. But we are approaching a new era where the power of decision and the power of definition and the power of choosing your own is returning to the individual. We are approaching an error where guilt and shame is not how we are motivated. And"

"There is a common myth out there that we who are trying to get sober from a substance our sabotaging ourselves. When we think about the sabotaging ourselves that puts ourselves as the enemy. That infer that there is some type of evil force working against us. And when we look at life that way we are divided against ourselves. Which will never lead to long-term recovery. What is happening here is that part of us are trying to protect our emotional state by driving us into addiction because it feels good. Because we have different parts of ourselves moving in we become the mediator. The"

"Think making bold declarations like 'I'll never use again' shows commitment to recovery Here's why that approach might be working against you. Every time you make an absolute promise and break it you're unconsciously teaching yourself that your words carry no weight. Instead of strengthening your resolve these declarations might actually be undermining your recovery journey. Try this powerful mindset shift: Replace 'I'll never use again' with 'It's my heart's desire to stay clean.' This isn't giving yourself permission to relapse - it's embracing radical honesty.

"Building Your Recovery Support Network: A Crucial Question Living in recovery requires surrounding yourself with the right people. Here's a vital question to consider when choosing your support network members: Do they constantly remind you of your past If someone repeatedly brings up your past this is a clear sign they don't belong in your recovery support network. Moving forward requires leaving the past behind - you cannot progress into your future while being anchored to your history. #RecoveryJourney #SupportNetwork #Healing #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #Recovery #SobrietySupport"

"That moment when you realize you've been chasing a ghost for months maybe years. You keep using expecting to feel that first-time high again but it never comes back the same way. Your brain has adapted your tolerance has built up and you're left chasing something that doesn't exist anymore while your life falls apart around you. This is the trap that keeps so many of us stuck in the cycle. Recovery isn't about finding a replacement high or pretending you never loved the way meth made you feel.

""No fats no fems no blacks no crackheads" - sound familiar These words show up constantly on dating apps creating a toxic environment that pushes vulnerable men toward substances just to feel worthy of connection. When our own community systematically rejects people based on body type masculinity race or addiction status we're literally driving each other into dangerous situations where crystal becomes the only place some guys feel accepted. The brutal truth is that this discrimination doesn't just hurt feelings - it creates the conditions where addiction thrives. Men turn to crystal scenes"

That wall you've built around yourself the one that says your usage isn't that bad that you don't need the same precautions as others is actually your biggest enemy in recovery.

The difference between these two questions is the difference between staying stuck and breaking free from crystal meth addiction. I hear the same excuses every day in my DMs and on coaching calls.

I was putting a lethal substance in my body and trying to pretend I could keep my life together. This is no matter. This is your life. This is everything falling apart around you if you dont take control. If you dont look at your priorities and your life put your big girl panties on and stop using. Get some help. And if you need help I am a sobriety coach and I will help you do it. #lgbtq #soberlife #addictionrecovery"

"I know it sounds counterintuitive but I do not suggest you setting goals for consecutive days of being sober when youre first trying to get off crystal meth. First of all the amount of relapses in a typical crystal meth user is twice as many as the regular users in the first year. Secondly youre setting yourself up for failure and youre also setting yourself up to run the risk of trying to celebrate once youve reached your [--] days or [--] day mark. You are in this process to create trust in yourself again to send the signal to your nervous system that you uphold your word."

"Breaking addiction cycles isn't just about willpower - it's about understanding your patterns and creating strategic distance. If you know you typically use every two weeks that's your baseline cycle to break. When that two-week mark approaches put every possible safeguard in place even if it means temporarily staying with family or changing your environment completely. Think of recovery like building muscle - you have to gradually increase your "clean time" to get stronger. Going from two weeks to four weeks creates momentum. From there you can push to three months which is a major milestone"

"What if the worst advice you ignored actually saved your life I remember when multiple people warned me about meth - first smoking it then slamming it. I ignored every single warning thinking I knew better. Each escalation pulled me deeper into a spiral I couldn't see coming. The truth is those warnings weren't just words - they were lifelines I chose to cut. Recovery isn't about perfection or never making mistakes. It's about recognizing the signs understanding the real consequences and choosing a different path forward. When we share our stories honestly we create the community and support"

"The signs are always there before we're ready to see them. That restless energy the hyper-focus on random tasks the way someone you care about starts to disappear behind their eyes. Meth doesn't announce itself with fanfare - it creeps in quietly rewiring neural pathways one hit at a time until the person you knew feels like a stranger. But here's what I've learned in my own journey and working with countless men in our community: recognition is the first step toward reclamation. When we can identify these patterns - whether in ourselves or someone we love - we create space for intervention."

You think you're strong enough to resist the temptation but why are you even testing yourself Real recovery means cutting off access to the chaos not keeping it on speed dial "just in case." Here's the truth nobody wants to hear: those contacts represent more than just people. They're triggers disguised as relationships. They're the"

"Want to know if you're really in recovery or just on a break from using Here's the truth: when you're using meth you become non-responsive unreliable and inconsistent. You know exactly what I'm talking about - the unanswered messages the broken promises the plans that fall apart. That's not who you are. That's what the drug makes you become. So here's your starting place: if you want to stop using crystal meth you need to start behaving like someone who doesn't use crystal meth. Be reliable. Be responsive. Be communicative dependable and consistent. These aren't just nice qualities - they're"

You're white-knuckling your way through each day with no vision of who you're becoming or what you're building.

"The people you surround yourself with in recovery will either unlock your potential or keep you stuck in cycles of shame and dependency. Most traditional recovery spaces are built around the idea that you're broken and need fixing. That someone else has the answers you don't. But here's what I've learned working with hundreds of people in recovery from crystal meth: the answers aren't outside of you. The wisdom strength and clarity you need are already there buried under layers of trauma shame and the stories you've been told about who you are as an addict. The real work isn't about finding"

Instead ask yourself: Is it triggering relapses Is it hindering my recovery Or is it actually keeping me from using right now If it's the last one that's harm reduction. It might be a step in the right direction. Recovery isn't about perfectionit's about self-awareness. Trust your gut. If it feels like a slippery slope step back.

The complete rewiring of your brain until you can't recognize your own thoughts anymore. That light that used to shine in your eyes Gone.

Maybe it's the isolation of being alone with your thoughts for hours. Maybe it's the transition back to real life after escaping for a bit. Maybe it's just old muscle memory kicking in the second you touch down in"

"Some of you are staying away from the crystal but still tearing yourselves apart over what got you off in those sessions. The content that worked when you were high still does something to you now and you're convinced that makes you broken disgusting or destined to relapse. I'm here to tell you that spiral of self-hatred is keeping you stuck more than the arousal ever could. There's a massive difference between what turns you on and what you actually want to experience in your life. Your arousal template was wired through years of experiences trauma responses and yes intense chemical rewiring"

That pipe promises freedom from shame insecurity and loneliness. For one night it delivers. Then it takes everything else. The tragic irony The thing that made them feel free for the first time becomes the cage they'll spend years trying to escape. This is the cycle we need to break.

"You're allowed to miss it. That doesn't mean you have to go back. Of course you miss the adventures. The unpredictability. That version of yourself who felt invincible at 3am. But here's what most people get wrong about recovery: two things can be true at once. You can miss that life and still accept it's over. You can remember the highs and still know they were destroying you. Missing something doesn't require action. It doesn't mean you're failing at recovery. It doesn't mean you have to dwell on it or romanticize it or chase it down one more time. It just means you're human. You had"

"What makes the tina epidemic so unique is the range of men using. Hi I'm Dallas and I help gay men break free from tina addiction. When you get into the tina scene you find that high-functioning affluent community established men with strong relationships are secretly struggling with tina misuse. Here's the thing - no matter how culturally well you are doing on the outside we are all running from our own unresolved trauma and emotional issues on the inside. You aren't exempt and you are just like anyone else who puts meth in their body. Just because you aren't homeless yet doesn't mean it"

"The story of my fall from Grace from having a doctorate degree and being a college professor is actually not that uncommon. Many gay men who come out late in life find the substance crystal or you can say Tina and it temporarily makes them feel like they have found what theyve been waiting for all their life. And for me Im mistakenly thought that having this substance would make me popular and make all the guys come around. I didnt realize that I was just being used. So after some time and losing everything I had I had to go to other means of making money. Those are the things that we do when"

"In this weeks episode of The AfterMeth I take over the episode to respond to a listener letter. In this letter a listener speaks of living in constant fear and being dependent on meetings to survive. I believe this is not emotional sobriety and question whether this is sobriety at all. Living in addiction recovery means being self-actualized meaning seeking your fullest potential of life every day. I explain more in this episode.

"Addiction recovery is a journey especially for those who've experienced meth-induced psychosis. To those in the LGBTQ community struggling with this: Trust your experiences. What you saw and felt was real to you. Acknowledge the spiritual aspect some find in their experiences. Avoid obsessing or trying to prove it to others who don't understand. Accept what happened and focus on moving forward. LGBTQ mental health is complex and drug-related experiences add another layer. Remember becoming drug-free is possible and you don't have to figure it out alone. Your journey to recovery is valid."

"The first steps are so simple yet so difficult. Quitting Tina first requires cutting off access. This is what will happen if you go to drug treatment so you might as well mimic the process if you arent planning to admit yourself. The #1 way we access Tina is through Grindr and other geosocial dating apps. The #2 way we access it is through old using buddies and dealers. So it only makes sense to first change your number so you dont have their contact information and they dont have yours. And then put parental blocks on your phone so you cannot even access apps to find it. You may feel like a"

"So many are stuck in the relapse cycle because they are not in control of their subconscious. The beliefs about themselves live there and are controlling their lives. The belief that I am not enough has been adopted by so many addicts and they have accepted this narrative as their truth. So thats why relapse and active addiction feels normal to them. It feels comfortable. It feels like what they deserve. If a narrative can be given to you then a narrative can be changed by you. It takes time consistency and practice to reprogram your subconscious. To adopt new beliefs about yourself. But you"

That infer that there is some type of evil force working against us. And when we look at life that way we are divided against ourselves. Which will never lead to long-term recovery. What is happening here is that part of us are trying to protect our emotional state by driving us into addiction because it feels good. Because we have different parts of ourselves moving in we become the mediator. The"

That panic Its the gasoline on the fire. Let me tell you the truth cravings are normal.And they dont have to mean anything. Cravings are simply yourinternal responseto anexternal trigger.

"That moment when you realize you've been chasing a ghost for months maybe years. You keep using expecting to feel that first-time high again but it never comes back the same way. Your brain has adapted your tolerance has built up and you're left chasing something that doesn't exist anymore while your life falls apart around you. This is the trap that keeps so many of us stuck in the cycle. Recovery isn't about finding a replacement high or pretending you never loved the way meth made you feel. It's about recognizing that the drug stopped working for you a long time ago even if your addiction"

""No fats no fems no blacks no crackheads" - sound familiar These words show up constantly on dating apps creating a toxic environment that pushes vulnerable men toward substances just to feel worthy of connection. When our own community systematically rejects people based on body type masculinity race or addiction status we're literally driving each other into dangerous situations where crystal becomes the only place some guys feel accepted. The brutal truth is that this discrimination doesn't just hurt feelings - it creates the conditions where addiction thrives. Men turn to crystal scenes"

"You're not different. You're not special. And that's exactly why you can recover. Stop telling yourself you're not like "those other guys" who use crystal meth. The moment you put that substance in your body you joined the same club as everyone else fighting this battle. That wall you've built around yourself the one that says your usage isn't that bad that you don't need the same precautions as others is actually your biggest enemy in recovery. This denial isn't protecting you from being labeled an addict. It's protecting you from the vulnerability required for real healing. Every time you"

Hey my name is Dallas and I'm a recovery coach for gay men who want to break free from the addictive patterns of crystal meth and live their best and highest life.

Hi I'm Dallas a chemsex recovery coach for gay men. Before meth we learned to lie about parts of ourselves out of fear of rejection. We became so comfortable with dishonesty that it felt normal.

"Breaking addiction cycles isn't just about willpower - it's about understanding your patterns and creating strategic distance. If you know you typically use every two weeks that's your baseline cycle to break. When that two-week mark approaches put every possible safeguard in place even if it means temporarily staying with family or changing your environment completely. Think of recovery like building muscle - you have to gradually increase your "clean time" to get stronger. Going from two weeks to four weeks creates momentum. From there you can push to three months which is a major milestone"

"Let me explain why meth devastates so many gay men's lives. Consider Colby. Growing up tormented for being different James spent his formative years as an outsider perpetually uncomfortable in his own skin. College finally introduced him to a community where he could breathe where his identity wasn't a target. During this sexual awakening a casual Grindr match led to an invitation from an established couple. They promised connection acceptance adventure. Then came the casual offer of a pipe why refuse He was young curious exploring. How thrilling to transform into this uninhibited version of"

"What if the worst advice you ignored actually saved your life I remember when multiple people warned me about meth - first smoking it then slamming it. I ignored every single warning thinking I knew better. Each escalation pulled me deeper into a spiral I couldn't see coming. The truth is those warnings weren't just words - they were lifelines I chose to cut. Recovery isn't about perfection or never making mistakes. It's about recognizing the signs understanding the real consequences and choosing a different path forward. When we share our stories honestly we create the community and support"

"The signs are always there before we're ready to see them. That restless energy the hyper-focus on random tasks the way someone you care about starts to disappear behind their eyes. Meth doesn't announce itself with fanfare - it creeps in quietly rewiring neural pathways one hit at a time until the person you knew feels like a stranger. But here's what I've learned in my own journey and working with countless men in our community: recognition is the first step toward reclamation. When we can identify these patterns - whether in ourselves or someone we love - we create space for intervention."

But here's what I've learned working with hundreds of people in recovery from crystal meth: the answers aren't outside of you.

"Here's your social media caption based on Bobby's powerful message: You think switching from smoking to slamming is just another way to usebut it's not. It's crossing a threshold that changes your brain forever. When you make that jump to IV use you're creating neural pathways that etch themselves into your mind in ways that smoking never did. This isn't about judgment or shameit's about understanding what's actually happening in your brain when you escalate your use. The puppet takes full control at this stage and getting back requires specialized support that acknowledges this neurological"

"The plane lands and suddenly your brain starts screaming for a "welcome home" party. You've been good all trip. Maybe you even felt stronger more in control like you'd finally turned a corner. Then the wheels touch down you're back in your city and within an hour you're on Grindr or texting your dealer. What the hell just happened Here's the reality: travel disrupts your routine exhausts your prefrontal cortex and when you return to familiar territory your brain immediately wants to restore equilibrium the only way it knows howthrough the dopamine hit it associates with being home.

"Wake-up call for crystal meth users: This isn't just another drug. One hit rewires your brain changing how you think feel and behave. Months between uses Doesn't matter. Each time solidifies the addiction turning you into what the drug wants. It takes nearly two years for your brain to heal. You're not in control even when you think you are. This isn't a game - it's life or death. Don't underestimate Tina's power. #LGBTQHealth #addictionrecovery #recoveryisvital #lgbtq🏳🌈 #12steps #SobrietyFirst #DrugFree #recoverysupport I need to rant about this : people are losing their lives I need to"

"The story of my fall from Grace from having a doctorate degree and being a college professor is actually not that uncommon. Many gay men who come out late in life find the substance crystal or you can say Tina and it temporarily makes them feel like they have found what theyve been waiting for all their life. And for me Im mistakenly thought that having this substance would make me popular and make all the guys come around. I didnt realize that I was just being used. So after some time and losing everything I had I had to go to other means of making money. Those are the things that we do when"

"The shame is killing you faster than the drug ever could. Every time you use and then beat yourself up about it you're creating the exact emotional state that makes you want to use again. It's a vicious cycle: you use you judge yourself as weak or broken or worthless that judgment creates unbearable shame and that shame drives you right back to the only thing that's ever made you feel reliefthe very substance you're trying to quit. You're not failing at recovery because you're not strong enough. You're stuck because you're weaponizing your relapses against yourself instead of learning from"

"You keep chasing a ghost that doesn't exist anymore. That first hit that first party that one incredible night where everything alignedyou've been trying to recreate it ever since haven't you But here's what your brain won't tell you while it's screaming for dopamine: you're not chasing pleasure anymore. You're chasing relief from the hell that crystal creates. The grinder scrolling the paranoid hookups the shitty motels the week of depression the apology textsthat's not the exception that's the actual experience now. You're working harder and harder for diminishing returns while your life"

"If only I could party with Tina recreationally." You've said it. Your friends have said it. Hell every guy in recovery has whispered this fantasy to themselves at 3am. You see other men who seem to pull it offusing once a month for a hot scene then going back to their careers and gym routines like nothing happened. So why can't you be like them Here's what you're missing: you're watching someone at a different point in their story. That "functional" user you're comparing yourself to You're seeing one frame of a much longer film. You're seeing them before it consumes everything. Before the"

"Stop telling yourself you're addicted to sex. You're not. You're addicted to whatever Tina is giving you that sober life isn't. And until you figure out what that actually is you're going to keep going back no matter how many times you delete the apps or block the numbers or promise yourself this is the last time. Maybe it's escape from a life that feels unbearable. Maybe it's the validation you never got growing up. Maybe it's attention from men who actually see you even if it's only for a few hours. Maybe it's connection that feels impossible to find in "normal" gay life where everyone"

"You've been sober for weeks feeling strong and then you book a flight. The moment that plane lands back home something shifts. Before you even get your luggage you're already thinking about it. By the time you're in the Uber you've made the call. Why does coming home from a trip feel like walking straight into a trap There's something about returning from travel that hits different. Maybe it's the isolation of being alone with your thoughts for hours. Maybe it's the transition back to real life after escaping for a bit. Maybe it's just old muscle memory kicking in the second you touch down in"

"Some of you are staying away from the crystal but still tearing yourselves apart over what got you off in those sessions. The content that worked when you were high still does something to you now and you're convinced that makes you broken disgusting or destined to relapse. I'm here to tell you that spiral of self-hatred is keeping you stuck more than the arousal ever could. There's a massive difference between what turns you on and what you actually want to experience in your life. Your arousal template was wired through years of experiences trauma responses and yes intense chemical rewiring"

"Right now someone is being handed their first hitand they have no idea they're signing up for years of chasing a feeling they'll never catch again. That pipe promises freedom from shame insecurity and loneliness. For one night it delivers. Then it takes everything else. The tragic irony The thing that made them feel free for the first time becomes the cage they'll spend years trying to escape. This is the cycle we need to break. That young man thinks he's found connection validation the sexual freedom he's been searching for. What he doesn't know is that crystal meth hijacks his brain's"

"If you woke up tomorrow back in active addiction and wanted out within [--] monthswhat would you actually do Block Grindr and Sniffies. Change your number. Delete social media. Tell everyone who cares about your situation and ask for help without shame. Then fill your calendar so completely that using isn't even physically possible. No gaps no downtime no windows for your addiction brain to convince you "just this once." These aren't suggestions for when you feel motivatedthis is the emergency protocol for when your life depends on it. And if you're being honest with yourself it does. Most"

"You're allowed to miss it. That doesn't mean you have to go back. Of course you miss the adventures. The unpredictability. That version of yourself who felt invincible at 3am. But here's what most people get wrong about recovery: two things can be true at once. You can miss that life and still accept it's over. You can remember the highs and still know they were destroying you. Missing something doesn't require action. It doesn't mean you're failing at recovery. It doesn't mean you have to dwell on it or romanticize it or chase it down one more time. It just means you're human. You had"
