Dallas Bragg built a business helping people with meth addiction despite being told by gay men he'd fail. He uses a black mold metaphor to describe how the drug silently destroys you from inside, and argues that telling someone you trust is the first step to getting clean.
I know it is so hard to tell people about your Tina addiction, and it sucks that if it were alcohol, it would be much more accepted and not judged so much, especially in the queer community. You know, I was told by several gay men that I wouldn't be successful, quote, helping meth heads. But here I am over 2 years later leading a thriving business. So I want to invite you right now to bring light to your struggles. Tina acts like black mold. It lives under the surface, slowly eating away on the inside, spreading like a cancer until it has destroyed the host, and it thrives in darkness. The first and most advantageous step you take is to bring light to your Tina use. Begin sharing with family and close friends. I know it's difficult, but ask yourself, how is what I'm currently doing working out for me? It is time to clean out that black mold shit before it claims your life.
