Ep. #203 (QS.02): Queer & Sober - Belonging

MP3•Episode home

In this special monthly episode of “Queer & Sober”, (a special offering thru the Coming Out Late podcast audience), Chris and Robin talk about one of the most universal parts of being human — belonging. Chris and Robin's honest and personal reflections on what it's like to navigate recovery as a queer person and to find or build your own communities.

In this episode, you will learn…

The difference between fitting in (performing for acceptance) and belonging (rooted in authenticity)
How queerness and sobriety both ask us to live in truth — and how that truth can feel lonely without community
Why belonging is biological, not just emotional: how co-regulation, safety, and connection heal our nervous systems
Reflections on forgiveness, courage, and community repair — how we hold each other when we don’t get it perfect
The power of “We” over “I” — moving from isolation to connection, from illness to wellness
The birth of the Queer & Sober community — an invitation to bring your full self, without apology or performance
