Too Busy
In this brief monologue, Dallas Bragg, a chemsex recovery coach, speaks directly to affluent gay men who struggle to stop using the party drug Teno (also called Tina). He identifies a recurring excuse—claims of being “too busy,” “not organized,” or “poor at time‑management”—as a story that clients adopt rather than a factual barrier. Bragg argues that these narratives keep men trapped in chemsex. He proposes three concrete steps: (1) adopt habit‑building practices such as journaling, establishing daily routines, and regular check‑ins with a coach; (2) shift from self‑identifying statements to solution‑focused questions like “How can I find more time?”; and (3) remain open to solutions rather than clinging to limiting stories. The core message is that reframing excuses into actionable questions, combined with consistent habit formation, is essential for successful recovery.
