My Name is Mick, and I am an Alcoholic

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Virgin Vodka Soda, the QueerRecovery podcast—where we skip the steps, ditch the shame, and keep it real.In this premiere, I unpack my first drink (ft. a hot older guy and a red Solo cup), the chaotic relationship I had with vodka, cocaine, and the club scene, and why AA just didn’t work for me (and maybe doesn’t work for you either).I also drop 5 brutally honest lessons from 6 years sober—including the part no one tells you about missing alcohol, craving peanut butter M&Ms like it’s your job, and realizing some friends were just drinking buddies in disguise.If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I need a break from drinking... but I don’t see myself in those rooms,” this one’s for you.Sobriety can still be queer, bold, chaotic, emotional, and full of power. Press play and let’s get into it.
