In this episode of Out & About AF, Gabe sits down with Cory Lee Burns for an honest and powerful conversation about addiction, identity, and finding your own path in recovery.

Cory shares what it was like growing up in a small town, coming out, and navigating the pressure of trying to belong. What began as experimentation escalated into substance use that ultimately led to a suicide attempt and a breaking point.

We talk about his experience in 12-step programs, the role of community in recovery, and the importance of building authentic relationships in sobriety. Cory reflects on the journey of self-discovery and what it means to create a life worth living without substances.

This episode is a reminder that there is no single formula for recovery. Different paths can lead to the same result. What matters most is finding the approach that aligns with who you are and building a life that feels honest, connected, and sustainable.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing recovery right,” this conversation is for you.
