Meet Colin

How do you relax and release yourself from your normal, everyday control?

“People are going to fuck. People are going to do drugs. And people are going to fuck and do drugs, so you might as well do your best to make both safe.” 

Colin opens our eyes to some of the barriers that keep people from reaching out for help.  

When you grow up steeped in stigma and shame around gay sex, you desire it, you get it, but then you feel bad. Coming across a drug that releases you from those feelings (until you’re sober again) can feel life-changing. But when that same drug becomes isolating and damaging to your quality of life, how do you find the support, love, and community to help you navigate all of this? 

“Nothing makes you feel more comfortable than knowing that someone has their back.”

Loneliness and connection can define our experiences of drug use. In many ways, Pete’s experience of being isolated and hopeless drove his drug use for a long time. But connecting with others can change everything.
