From Business Owner to Crack Addiction: Mason Cross Opens Up

Mason Cross joins the podcast to share his brutally honest story of addiction, recovery, chemsex, identity, and rebuilding his life.

Growing up bisexual and living what he describes as a “normal life,” Mason first got into cocaine at 23 years old. What started as recreational use quickly turned into a 4–5 year cycle of addiction while still functioning day-to-day, going to work, and maintaining relationships.

After getting sober and successfully building a business, lockdown during COVID pushed him back into drug use — this time spiralling much deeper into crack cocaine, smoking and eventually injecting it.

In this episode we discuss:

• Functioning addiction and hiding drug use

• Cocaine and crack addiction

• Chemsex culture and LGBTQ nightlife

• Not having sober sex for 4 years

• Relapse during COVID lockdown

• Injecting drugs and the mental spiral of addiction

• Contracting sepsis and returning to drugs straight after hospital discharge

• Cravings during sobriety and staying clean

• Transitioning into an OnlyFans creator

• The reality of influencer culture and LGBTQ culture today

• Recovery, identity, masculinity and rebuilding life after addiction

This is one of the rawest and most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast.
