Nuts As Us welcomes and supports individuals from all walks of life, with a special focus on neurodivergent individuals, those struggling with substance use, and members of the LGBTIQ+ community.
At Nuts As Us, we understand the journey of recovery and the path to self-acceptance because our founder has walked it firsthand. From a young age, the founder faced challenges with substance abuse, mental health conditions, and feeling different without understanding why. Substance use became a way to self-medicate and feel accepted, leading to homelessness and life on the streets of Sydney’s Kings Cross. With time, help, and a deep commitment to change, they discovered a road to recovery, achieved sobriety, and began a transformative journey of healing.
Nuts As Us is dedicated to providing practical, compassionate support to help individuals thrive. Our services are tailored to empower each person on their journey, focusing on a holistic approach to recovery and personal growth. Here’s how we can help:
David has been my recovery mentor for a few years now and I feel like I struck gold. I find him to be compassionate, inspiring, challenging, thought provoking and a leader to me. He has a lot of first hand experience in recovery, the LGBTI community and making perspective changes that take the doom and gloom into a new fabulous outlook on life. He also loves to laugh. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
Dearest David , The car,the man, the fun! Thank you David for being a strong male figure in my brothers life that treats home to ride in the car and show Paul how to live up to his FAMOUS reputation. You are a very charismatic man and I know Paul adores you and enjoys your company. I am grateful that you support Paul and how he feels comfortable and happy around you and that means the world to our family. I hope that you + your family have a merry Christmas, Paul + I have been working hard on the hamper this year please choose something that resonates with you.
Can you believe Paul has lived as Chestnut for 4 years! Wild.
I’ve learned in recovery that personal growth is about challenging our old ideas and unhelpful belief systems. Working with David has helped me understand these patterns. His humor, compassion and honesty have been invaluable in what can be a challenging process of personal growth. I’m empowered to accept and love all parts of me, rather than constantly trying to change. Shame, guilt and validation have featured in my past, particularly as a recovering addict who identifies as gay, but working with David has taught me this no longer needs to define my future.
