I Have a Good Job and a Normal Life — Can Chemsex Still Be a Problem?

I have a good job. I pay my bills. I exercise. I have friends. My life looks completely normal.

So can Chemsex really be a problem?

One of the reasons it can be difficult to question your relationship with Chemsex is that your life may not look anything like the stereotypical image of addiction.

You may be successful, responsible and functioning well — while privately noticing that Chemsex is taking up more space in your life than you want it to.

You might still be doing well professionally while finding it increasingly difficult to keep the boundaries you set around Chemsex.

Maybe weekends are disappearing.

Maybe Monday mornings are getting harder.

Maybe your sex life is becoming increasingly connected with drugs.

Maybe you're cancelling plans, recovering in private, or thinking about Chemsex much more than you used to.

Or perhaps nothing dramatic has happened at all.

You simply have the uncomfortable feeling that you're not making quite as many choices as you once were.

You don't have to wait until your life falls apart before you're allowed to take that feeling seriously.

CHEMSEX FREEDOM™

If you're beginning to question your own relationship with Chemsex, Chemsex Freedom is my private, structured 90-day online programme for gay and bisexual men who want to understand what's happening and decide what they want to change.

You don't have to identify as an addict.

You don't have to have hit rock bottom.

And you don't have to have decided that permanent abstinence is your goal.

You may want to stop, reduce how often you're having Chemsex, regain greater control, or simply understand your own patterns more clearly.

Chemsex Freedom is private and confidential, can be worked through at your own pace and around your own schedule, and is accessible online wherever you are.

Across 90 days and 13 weeks, we explore areas including:

• Why you use and what Chemsex gives you • Triggers, cravings and urges • Patterns that keep pulling you back • Sex and sober sex • Dating, intimacy and relationships • Self-esteem and identity • Building a more fulfilling life going forward

There's also a 14-day money-back guarantee, subject to the programme terms.

And whether or not Chemsex Freedom is right for you, here's the question I'd encourage you to consider:

Don't only ask:

“Is my life falling apart?”

Ask:

“Do I still feel free to make the choices I actually want to make?”
