Dishing with Buff Faye

Let’s Dish – Recovery & Addiction


Listen Later

This week on Dishing with Buff Faye, Buff gets personal and powerful in honor of National Recovery & Addiction Month—a time to celebrate those in recovery and lift up the stories that matter.

Buff opens with a heartfelt reflection on friendship and forgiveness: “A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” She shares what it means to have people who stick by you—not just for the rainbows, but through the storms too.

Then, Buff welcomes longtime sister and special guest Valarie Rockwell, a Charlotte drag queen with a story of fierce transformation. Together they reminisce about their 15+ year friendship—North Carolina drag pageants, the first Buff Faye Drag Brunch in 2009, and their reign as Miss Charlotte Pride queens and North Carolina Entertainer of the Year.

 But this episode goes deeper.

Valarie opens up about her battle with addiction, her moment of clarity, and
what it means to be over a year sober. She talks openly about the pain, the
healing, and the beauty of rebuilding her life—and even rebuilding her
friendship with Buff Faye—through the 12-step journey.

It’s a raw and real conversation about recovery, community, and drag family—with plenty of laughs, love, and joy along the way.

 Let’s Dish, y’all.
