142: Loving Yourself Through and Out of Addiction – Gregory Silva

LGBTQ people are 9-10 times more likely to addicted to sex, drugs,
alcohol or food. Why? For many reasons, but the most obvious reason
is we've been shamed into submission for not being good enough.
It's time for that shame to end and to demystify the pathway to
treatment and recovery from whatever your addiction may be. Gregory
Silva, Director of Operations at Living Longer Recovery, helps us
as gay men understand our addiction tendencies and shares how to
get the right kind of help to a sober, life filled with joy. About
Gregory Gregory Silva was born and raised on a farm in Northern
California. After graduating from Sonoma State University, he was
employed in the media industry and various international marketing
firms. This career path took him all over the world, and at one
point he was even living and working in France. However, in 2012,
Gregory’s best friend overdosed and passed away. Looking for
answers to the addiction plague, Gregory ended up changing careers
in order to help people recover from addiction and live fuller
lives. He is now dedicated to educating people suffering from
addiction, as well as their loved ones and employers, about the
pathways to recovery. As the Director of Operations at Living
Longer Recovery, he enjoys the challenges that come with the
position and the opportunity to help change the direction of the
clients he encounters. In his spare time, you will find him
