In this monologue, Dallas Bragg, a chemsex recovery coach, explains a common cognitive trap that keeps men stuck in a relapse cycle with crystal meth. He describes how the belief that one will never enjoy sex without meth creates a false ultimatum: either use meth and have sex, or stop meth and have no sex at all. Accepting this belief drives continued use. Bragg argues that to break the cycle, individuals must shift their mindset to believe they can enjoy and love sex without meth. He offers incremental, practical steps to challenge the belief, such as experimenting with a sex or fuck buddy, hiring an escort if affordable, and generally opening oneself to new possibilities. By gradually exposing themselves to sexual experiences without meth, the subconscious can be retrained to reject the impossible equation and choose recovery.

Here's one way that men get caught in the relapse cycle with crystal meth and with chemsex, and I'm going to share it with you. My name is Dallas. I'm a chemsex recovery coach. And that's when you pose this question to yourself. You pose this almost an ultimatum because in your mind you believe that you will never enjoy sex again without crystal. So if you accept that belief, then the question comes down to, Do I use meth and have sex, or do I stop using meth and never have sex again? If you're posing the question in your mind that way, then of course you're going to keep using. Who wants to never have sex again? So you have to get to a place where you're not giving yourself that kind of choice. You open yourself up to the possibilities that I will have sex again, I will love sex again, I will enjoy sex again. And there are ways to get there. There are small incremental ways to change that belief. One is trying it out with a sex buddy, a fuck buddy. One is trying it out with an escort if you have that kind of money. One is just beginning to open yourself up to possibilities in your life and understand that when you keep posing that question of, do I use meth and enjoy sex, or do I stop using meth and never enjoy sex again? Your subconscious is never going to decide to not use meth. You're giving yourself an impossible equation.
