If you have a gay loved one using crystal meth, listen up. Hi, my name is Dr. Dallas Bragg. I'm a recovery coach for gay and bi men who want to be set free from the addictive patterns of crystal meth and live their best and highest life. This is part 1 of a 7-part series to help loved ones best support someone who is using Tina. Number 1, learn all you can about the specific nuances of this substance. There are many qualifying factors that should be considered, such as How the phone plays a role, access through Zoom and other online platforms, their mood swings, why they are the way they are, why they've turned you— turned against you, understanding the connection between meth and sex. All of that can help you best support and conceptualize the behaviors of your loved one. And it will allow you to think like them so that you can anticipate pitfalls and help truly be an accountability partner for them.
