Hi there, friends!
Welcome in. This is The Sober Gay Guy, the podcast and now the newsletter too, all in one place. If we have not met yet, I'm TJ, and I am really glad you found your way here. Pull up a chair, grab a coffee (maybe a cold bubble water) and stay awhile. Around here we keep it honest, we keep it kind, and we are not afraid to laugh in the middle of the hard stuff.
Why I chose Substack
I started The Sober Gay Guy as a little WordPress blog back in 2020, mostly me writing my way through early sobriety. Then came the podcast, then a relaunch, and suddenly the show lived in one place, the writing lived in another, and I was tired of feeling scattered. I wanted one home where the episodes, the writing, and this community could all live together. So I packed up those old blog posts, brought them with me, and moved us here. Same show. Same heart. Better house.
What’s ahead
Every Wednesday, a new episode of the podcast. Coming up on November 4, "Boundaries: Clear Is Kind," because you can love somebody and the answer can still be no. Then on November 11, "Holding Your Ground Through the Holidays," our early game plan for getting through the season with your peace intact. Once a month, this newsletter goes a little deeper than an episode can, with what we talked about, what I learned living it, and what is coming next. And the old blog favorites are here too, ready for a re-read. Nobody walks through the hard stuff alone. Compassion in action. That is the whole idea.
We’re all important! xxoo
