Mell is going on tour, sharing useful information about chemsex and addiction recovery! In their new role as National Director of Chemsex and LGBTQ+ Programs, Mell made a visit to Miami this weekend to discuss the process of rebuilding a sober, values-aligned identity especially as it relates to the topic of intimacy. Those who attended left with tools to support a sustainable, choice-driven recovery plan.

Thank you to all those who attended! And be sure to look for Mell in your city soon! 💜

RSVP LINK IN COMMENTS: Join Mell in Miami on 1/24 @ Lambda Miami-Dade for a Chemsex Recovery Workshop!

Chemsex recovery is a deeply personal and relational process centered on rebuilding a sober, values-aligned sexual identity. In this workshop, participants will explore what desire and intimacy can look like without the use of substances, while learning how to reconnect with embodied awareness, pleasure, and authentic connection.

The workshop emphasizes rebuilding trust with oneself and with others, developing healthy communication and consent practices, and creating intimacy that is sustainable, intentional, and rooted in personal values. Participants will examine arousal patterns shaped by chemsex and gain tools to move from compulsion or escape toward choice and agency.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a clearer understanding of chemsex, insight into their relational and arousal dynamics, and practical guidance for developing a personalized sexual recovery plan.

The No Matter What Recovery Annual Holiday Tree Decorating Contest was a hit! Each sober living residence is given a design budget and they come up with a clever theme to sleigh the competition. This year, we had a tie between a “Stranger Things” design from our South House, and a concept from the North House that celebrated our dear Gannon who is our Sober Living Regional Manager. The winners will enjoy a pizza and ice cream party, and of course, bragging rights. A very special thanks to our detox Operations Manager Gabby Estrada who helped decide the winners as Santa’s elf. Merry Christmas to all!
