Apologies for the recent delay in new episodes, we have a ton of great stuff coming your way and this episode sets a tone for great interviews to come. Thanks for your patience, please SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS, rate, review, subscribe, follow, whatever. This is a labor of love and your support is incredibly meaningful. Michael Marcus is a person whose recovery I have admired for many years.  He published a book about his (mis)adventures in addiction, sexuality, deceit and depravity called ‘#1 Son and Other Stories’ in 2017 and his powerful literary voice and miraculous ability to survive and evolve make him an absolutely thrilling guest to welcome to Sober Sex.  This episode is a truly wild ride, and contains some vague mentions of childhood sexual abuse and violence. If you don't feel up to listening to those topics today, maybe choose a different episode. You can find more about Mike and his work at @dead_western_mind on instagram or buy his book at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089FR1ZTN/ref=x_gr_bb_kindle?caller=Goodreads&tag=x_gr_bb_kindle-20
