In this solo video, Dallas Bragg – a chemsex recovery coach for men who have sex with men – introduces a practical parts‑work technique to break the chemsex relapse cycle. He challenges the common statement “I want to use” by reframing it as “a part of me wants to use meth,” which separates the person’s core identity from the addictive impulse. By externalizing this part, clients can dialogue with it to uncover the deeper emotional needs it is trying to satisfy, such as loneliness, lack of validation, desire for attention, or the need to escape emotional pain. Once these needs are identified, Bragg advises providing them through healthier, non‑drug avenues, effectively retraining the part to seek fulfillment without meth. He concludes by promoting a 6‑month, small‑group coaching program (limited to ten men) that aims to help participants become meth‑free within 180 days.

Here's a method that's helping a lot of my clients get set free from the chemsex relapse cycle. Hi, my name is Dallas. I'm a chemsex recovery coach helping men who have sex with men. I have a lot of guys who will contact me, call me, text me, and say, I want to use, and I have to correct them. And I'll tell them, if you wanted to use, you would not be in a coaching program helping you not use. Instead, say, part of me wants to use. A part of me wants to use meth. That way you can separate yourself from it. You inherently don't want to use, but a part of you does. That way you can study it, you can have a conversation with it, you can find out what it wants. So then you take this a step further. So once you find out what it wants— maybe it wants you to be connected because you feel lonely, maybe it wants you to have validation because you feel Like you aren't— your self-worth is in the gutter. Maybe you need attention because you feel left out. Maybe you are having a really emotionally hard time and you need to escape. What does that part of you that wants to use meth want for you? And now you start it over. A part of me wants me to be less lonely. So now you have gotten down to the core of why you want to use. What parts of you want to use, you've gotten down to the core reason. And now you can actually give it what it wants in a different way without using meth. That's the way you've been doing it. That's the way you've trained your part to do. So now, if whatever this part of you wants, you give it to it in a new, healthy way. Hope that helps. If you're interested in working with me, I have group coaching, group coaching programs that last 6 months with 10 men. You could be meth-free in 180 days.
