In this powerful episode of The AfterMeth Podcast, host Dr. Dallas Bragg sits down with Jacques, a South African survivor who shares his remarkable 11-year journey with crystal meth and his successful recovery without formal rehabilitation. Jacques opens up about how low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, and internalized homophobia created the perfect storm for addiction, beginning with casual hookup culture and eventually progressing to weekly meth use with his partner Pierre. Their story takes a unique turn as both partners decided to break free together, defying the common belief that couples must separate to recover. Jacques candidly discusses the challenges of crossing the line into IV use, experiencing psychosis, and the moment he finally heard the internal voice telling him that recovery was waiting on his decision to act.
Dr. Bragg highlights 13 concrete recovery strategies that Jacques employed, including intention-setting, creating new weekend patterns, building a support network, practicing radical honesty with family, staying in the same location to "rebrand" traumatic memories, rearranging his physical environment, using mirror work and positive affirmations, and recognizing his higher power working through others. Now over three years clean and sober, Jacques demonstrates that recovery is possible without rehab when you're willing to do the deep internal work, reconnect with people who knew you before addiction, and commit to rewriting your story one day at a time. His testimony offers hope and a practical roadmap for anyone seeking to break free from the grip of Chemsex addiction.
