In this episode of The AfterMeth podcast, Dr. Dallas Bragg sits down with Jayson Parker, a successful adult content creator who transformed his relationship with sex and intimacy after overcoming methamphetamine addiction. This raw, honest conversation explores one of recovery's most challenging topics: rebuilding a healthy sex life after meth.

What You'll Learn:
The Journey from Addiction to Recovery:
• How religious trauma and shame led to meth as an "escape"
• The moment when your heart changes but your body keeps using
• Why Jason took a 3-year break from dating apps (and why it worked)
• The power of saying "for now" instead of "never"

Rebuilding Your Relationship with Sex:
• How to grieve the loss of your addiction without demonizing it
• The difference between performance and authentic connection
• Why "sober sex is better" isn't about physical sensation
• Navigating triggers, orgies, and high-risk situations in recovery

Practical Recovery Strategies:
• The importance of radical self-honesty and vulnerability
• Building a support network of sexually liberated people in recovery
• How to know when you're ready to return to dating apps
• Creating accountability systems that actually work

Breaking Stigma:
• Why you can't hate yourself into a new life
• The surprising reality of drug use in the porn industry
• How connection truly is the opposite of addiction

Key Takeaways:"You can't shame yourself into compliance with a new way of life. You can't hate yourself into a new life.""I had to look at what positive things came from my addiction... I got wonderful gifts that I probably would never have gotten. And yet, this thing cannot be in my life anymore.""The only way to have sex in recovery is to have sex in recovery."
