Dallas Bragg talks to men in meth recovery about the alter-ego that shows up at parties or bathhouses, suddenly driving risky behavior. The work is figuring out what that hidden part actually wants: intimacy, thrill, secrecy. Then find those things without drugs.
Are you one of those guys that everything is going perfectly well in your life and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you find yourself at the party or the bathhouse or the bookstore? There is a reason why there's such a 180 shift, a kind of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde phenomenon here. You have an alter ego, a part of yourself who needs attention, who needs something. The work in recovery is to figure out what this alter ego is searching for And give that to him in other ways. So here's what I mean. I help guys get in touch with that part and literally ask him, what is it that you need that you're getting out of Tina addiction? Maybe it's intimacy, maybe it's thrill-seeking, maybe it's being naughty behind someone's back. Whatever it is, we find ways to give that part what it wants without the use of crystal meth. There's a way to do it.
