In this brief monologue, recovery coach Dallas Bragg addresses gay men who struggle with Teno (also called "Teno" or "Tina") use. He points out that many individuals habitually attribute relapse to external factors—such as the 90‑day wall, family, ADHD, partners, peers, city environment, or gay culture—rather than taking personal responsibility. Bragg explains that blame functions as a placeholder that postpones the necessary shift toward personal agency and decision‑making. He challenges listeners to recognize this pattern and asks how they can begin moving from blame to ownership of their recovery today.
