Thank you for inviting our Chief Clinical Officer Jessica Steinman, LMFT CSAT on the show to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl.

Fentanyl is 50–100x stronger than morphine — and it’s showing up in pills, powders, and drugs you’d never expect. A dose the size of a few grains of salt can be lethal. Counterfeit pills bought online or on the street are frequently laced with fentanyl, and there’s no way to know just by looking. No one plans to overdose — it happens in an instant.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know that help exists and recovery is possible. Naloxone (Narcan) can reverse an overdose and is available without a prescription at most pharmacies. Carrying it saves lives. Reach out to SAMHSA’s free, confidential helpline anytime: 1-800-662-4357. You are not alone. 💙

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.

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.
