🔍 PART 1: THE EARLY STAGES - Which character are you?

We all start somewhere.

In my years of coaching gay men through crystal meth recovery, I've witnessed these common archetypes emerge.

Do you recognize yourself or someone you care about?

👀 Wide-eyed William: Fresh to the scene, everything feels magical and new. The comedowns are brutal but those peaks feel worth it... for now.

🎭 Delusional Darren: "I can handle this, I'm different." Living a double life while convincing himself it's just recreational.

📉 Crumbling Connor: Work performance slipping, relationships straining, but still chasing those increasingly rare good times.

🎪 Puppet Paul: Moving through life in a trance, trapped in an endless cycle of scrolling and parties.

⏱️ Intermittent Ivan: The occasional user who thinks he's got it all under control, unaware of how his "managed use" influences others.

❤️ Partner Peter: Struggling to balance relationship loyalty with newfound desires, hiding his use while trying to maintain trust.

🎯 Chameleon Kayden: Young and strategic, convincing himself it's just business, not dependency. These patterns aren't your destiny. Early recognition can prevent years of struggle.

👇 Drop a comment below with which archetype resonates with you.

They won't all fit here, but comment for the full list:

For everything there is a season and purpose under heaven — **Ecclesiastes 3:1-8**

And I’ll also add the old cliche of “the only thing consistent in life is change.”

As spiritual beings and responsible humans, our most highest response to change is to appreciate the past and openly embrace the future.

We acknowledge that all systems have had their purpose under the context of the current level of collective consciousness.

The 12-Steps are no exception. The old punitive system of reliance on a power outside of yourself and remaining under the thumb of a disease is dissolving.

This same phenomenon can be witnessed in our government, finance, and social systems. We are moving into a new age with new dimensions.

The new age is a remembrance of who we are. We are the creators, sparks of God, owning the power to write our lives the way we want them.

We are co-creators with the energy that creates worlds and holds them in orbit.

The new age is about self-love and unity, collaboration and holding space for one another in nonjudgement and acceptance for the light and the shadow.

What this means for the addiction recovery community is that we are moving away from fear tactics, of making ourselves small, of the mindset that addictive patterns are forever here to stay and that we are tethered to meetings that keep the energy of addiction active in our life experience.

We embrace self-love so that relapse is celebrated because we know that all experiences are learning experiences that we purposely through our subconscious create through our higher selves.

This new age sets us free from the control of others’ narratives and welcomes individualism. We forge our own sobriety path that leads out of being “an addict” and into our best and highest life. This means that addiction is seen as a past experience that is left in the past on our journey to complete wholeness.

Let’s welcome the new age as it begins to saturate and fill our hearts. Feel the relief of dissolving the guilt and shame embedded in many groups and rest in self-love and self-acceptance that your life is yours to create.

Hiding in plain sight. An attack on the gay male population of epidemic proportions.

A drug known as crystal that feasts on the traumatized and shamed.

A drug that has its own app, its own online channel running 24/7, and its own group pages dedicated to its celebration of parties.

What these men are chasing isn't debauchery, it's healing. Just like any other addicts, they are trying to fill a void inside of something they didn't receive early on in life.

But they are stuck. The brain is stuck in the push-and-pull of pleasure and pain. Life without the chemical seems dull and boring. Life with the drug seems to give them the freedom they've always wanted, at least temporarily.

There is a way of recovery. There is a method for untangling yourself from the pull of crystal. There is a life of sobriety waiting for you.

The recovery journey leads these men past addiction, past being just "sober" and into an elevated healing experience. A new way of hope and wholeness. To experience life never needing anything from anyone.

I'd like to be a part of that healing process. Comment or DM session to receive a free one-hour (or more) session with me to take the first step toward a new life.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready.

I'm ready to stop wasting time on mindless scrolling.

I'm ready to pull my power back from people who don't match my energy and do not have my best interest at heart.

I'm ready to dive deep into the depths of my soul to discover who I truly am and live it on purpose.

I'm ready for my default thinking, speaking, and behavior to be clothed in integrity.

I'm ready to respond, not react to my environment.

I'm ready to be a servant to men who are in pain and trapped in the clutches of chems3x.

I'm ready to accept that I am on a journey of self-acceptance and while I still seek that from others outside of myself, I know that I'm improving every day and I delight in my progress.

I'm ready to be kind to myself. To speak to and about myself with grace and dignity and love.

I'm ready to be used by God and accept my destiny with gratitude.

I'm ready to receive love with patience, kindness, and appreciation.

I'm ready to touch millions of lives through my coaching business.

I'm ready for 2024.

How about you?

33% of all Americans report experiencing religious trauma.

So many humans are interpreting a human translated document through their human biased mind and forcing their humanness on impressionable people through fear tactics.

I once turned my back on Jesus because I associated him with a manmade established relgion. I created an impression of him that had been filtered through others. The Christian church has a long history of projecting themselves onto God in order to serve their own needs.

But, the time apart from Jesus helped reset all of the brainwashing. I had space to reestablish my relationship with him. Being careful not to project what I needed him to be, I allowed him to show me what unconditional love and interconnected unity really looked like.

Now, I feel Jesus.

I hear Jesus.

I see Jesus.

I know Jesus.

I love Jesus.

And no one has the right to dictate to me how that relationship looks. And no man has the authority to tell me I don’t know him.

How paradoxical that the most loving, welcoming, and affirming soul I’ve ever come in contact with has a following of people who try to self-righteously control the way others act, feel, think, and live.

I love that I can follow my metaphysical interests and see how they align with Jesus; speaking in tongues (light language), seven chakra balancing (anointing from head to toe), and Akashic Records (the Book of Life). This isn’t witchcraft or demonic black magic. This is me growing in my spiritual gifts and growing in my closeness with Jesus.

Jesus is right there with me when I study moon cycles and integrate them into my spiritual development.

Mery Christ-mas everyone 💚🎄

Let me make one thing clear. You cannot judge someone’s spiritual path by how happy they appear.

Sometimes their happiness stems from bypassing the hard work.

Spiritual growth is not always rainbows and butterflies. Those seasons are there to incentivize and provide polarity to appreciate what you’ve accomplished. But the growth happens in the mire, the despair, the loneliness, the confusion.

Growth requires being broken. Growth requires facing the darkest parts of yourself and learning how to accept them. This is not easy.

This is not solved by positive thoughts or a good mood. It’s processed by taking on these emotions and allowing them to move through while maintaining the awareness of what’s happening. That ain’t easy while upholding the human life.

It’s okay to frown sometimes. It’s ok to be grumpy. If you are on the spiritual path, you are feeling the intensity of evolution.

Give yourself grace and separate from those who get triggered because you aren’t who they need you to be.

Some days feel like you are reaching up from the depths. But, I will tell you that the reward is worth every single bad day.

Love— Dallas
