| 1/25/26 | ![]() (Replay) Ash Butterss Burnt Her Dream Life Down | For Ash Butterss, addiction was a constant pursuit of more: more thrill, more chaos, more ways to avoid the emptiness. It started with sugar in childhood, then alcohol at 12, and drugs by 14. She moved from one addiction to another, telling herself she didn’t have a problem as long as she had periods of sobriety.On the outside, her life looked impressive. She owned a home in Bondi, did early-morning HIIT classes, managed a team, and kept getting promoted. It wasn't until she hit what she calls "the gift of desperation" that she became willing to get sober.Giving up alcohol meant facing painful truths, including the reality that her marriage was built around shared addiction.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses themes of substance abuse and suicide.Follow Ash Butterss on InstagramReady to share your story?

Over time, his opioid use evolved into a secret crystal meth addiction. It wasn’t until a trip to Costa Rica for his birthday, where he used ayahuasca, that everything changed. Today, Andrew helps other gay men struggling to come off drugs and chem sex, and when asked what advice he would give to a closeted queer person struggling with addiction, his response is not only beautiful but deeply moving.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sex, substance abuse, internalised homophobia, and the emotional impact of being closeted.

| 12/13/25 | ![]() (Replay) How One Year Without Alcohol Changed Julia Vogl’s Life | JOIN THE UNSPOKEN: https://patreon.com/SoberlySpeaking Julia Vogl never identified with having a drinking problem, but she realised alcohol was holding her back and capping her potential. It’s a story so many can relate to, knowing something isn’t good for you, not being addicted to, yet continuously crawling back to it. Growing up confused about her sexuality and living with internalised homophobia, she would kiss girls while drunk, only to spiral into shame afterward, keeping her stuck in a cycle of self-hatred. Taking a six-month break from drinking turned into a year, then a lifestyle. She found purpose, saved a small fortune, and witnessed how one person quitting drinking can lift up those around them.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of substance abuse.Follow Julia Vogl on InstagramReady to share your story?

Social services watched her every move. Multiple suicide attempts followed. At one point, police, including SWAT, surrounded her with lasers aimed at her.And yet, it wasn’t all of that that made her stop.
