Do people in recovery swap substances for sex? Why do we retreat into victim mode? And what happens when the therapist waiting room becomes a hook up joint? Just a few of the questions posed in this Q&A episode with our resident therapist Sally O'Sullivan.

We also chat about...

  • My new partner’s in recovery too - why do I feel competitive?

  • My boyfriend is obsessed with fixing me, and I've realised I quite like being seen as broken. Is this bad?

  • How to handle a partner’s jealousy of my connection with other sober men in recovery? 

  • My partner is "California sober" (weed only). They think I'm judging them.

  • I've become so independent - I’m really comfortable being alone and I'm completely unavailable for a relationship.
