In this short coaching video, Dallas Bragg, a chemsex recovery coach, teaches a practical skill for people in early meth/chemsex recovery: learning to tell the difference between naturally occurring sexual desire and libido that is actually a craving triggered by chemsex‑related brain conditioning. He explains that stress, negative emotions (loneliness, anger, isolation, hopelessness) and even strong positive feelings can provoke a feeling of horniness that is really a cue to use meth‑enhanced sex. By observing the context—what happened in the last hour or day—clients can decide whether the urge is a genuine sexual need or a chemsex‑driven craving. He warns that responding immediately with masturbation or porn reinforces the addictive pattern, and instead recommends alternative actions such as running, walking, cold showers, or sensory‑activating activities to break the cycle. The video ends with an invitation to DM him or comment for a spot in his upcoming 12‑man, 12‑week online group coaching cohort aimed at reducing or stopping meth use.

Here's a very useful skill in early chemsex recovery. Hi, my name is Dallas. I'm a chemsex recovery coach. One useful skill is to distinguish between naturally generated libido and chemsex-generated libido, because as you know, if you know anything about meth, meth and sex get fused in the brain. So in early recovery, when you're under a lot of stress or uncomfortable emotions like loneliness, anger, isolation, Hopelessness, anything like that. Any negative emotion, and sometimes even the really positive emotions, can cause you to feel horny. I had a client who got in a fight with his father over something, and then went immediately to to jack off and or wank, as some of you say. And he was like, "What is this about?" It's like it's because you're used to having a difficult emotion. And then going to use chemsex, and in between getting horny, your brain is still healing and trying to distinguish between what is meth and what is not meth, what is regular sex, what is regular libido. You have to very much be an observer, an observer of I'm horny. Why? What has happened today? What has been going on in the last hour or the last days that has caused me to be horny? Am I just naturally Ready to have sex, or is this a reaction to uncomfortable emotions? Because what you do to relieve that horniness next is very important. Because if it is on the way to use again, if it is a chemsex-related generated libido, you don't want to masturbate right away. You don't want to watch porn. You don't want to react right now to that because you're going to feed and reinforce the pattern. There are other ways. You can go running, go walking, get— take a cold shower, you know, all the sense— activate the senses. Go do something to move your body, something else besides react sexually. Hope that helps.
