Dallas Bragg, a chemsex recovery coach, says meth relapse happens because people set the wrong goal. Instead of "quit meth," focus on small daily actions like journaling or meditation. Improve by 1% each day to rebuild self-trust and create lasting sobriety.
You can't stop relapsing on meth because you have the goal all wrong. Hi, my name is Dallas. I'm a chemsex recovery coach for men who have sex with men. When I ask men what their recovery goal is, they often say, to quit using meth, duh. And my response is that you are focusing too much on the end result and not on the process of getting there. That's what we work on in my group coaching program. Often, when the goal is to quit meth, It feels too big, too far-reaching, overwhelming, and impossible. So when— then you get discouraged, right? And you stop trying altogether. If your goal is the process, you look at each day as an opportunity to improve the how instead of the what. How is adopting a consistent daily action such as journaling or meditation that anchors you into your recovery on a daily basis. That is what keeps you moving forward. And you want to improve that 1% every day so that over time you have a life that resembles your best and highest self. You have small attainable goals that allow you to build trust in yourself again and feel confident in your abilities. Your self-image improves, and that is what will set you up for long-term sustainable recovery.
