I totally related to that in sobriety as well, when you're just like, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I need to make this change to better myself and do the right thing and push through these hard times.
What happens when a comedian faces the reality of addiction head-on? In this episode of 'Soberland', Lindsay Cowan catches up with her friend and fellow comedian Justin James, who has just returned from a seven-month stint in Colorado. The conversation is a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to deep reflection, as Justin opens up about his upbringing with parents who were both addicts and how their divergent paths shaped his life.
He candidly shares how comedy became his lifeline, a way to cope with the chaos and find moments of joy amid the struggle. Lindsay also dives into her newfound fascination with Brené Brown, a researcher known for her work on shame and vulnerability. They discuss how Brené's insights have influenced their journeys toward sobriety and personal growth.
One memorable quote from Justin encapsulates the spirit of their discussion: 'I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know how this is going to turn out, but I need to make this change to better myself and push through these hard times'. The episode isn't all heavy though; expect lighter moments as they chat about reality TV, pop culture, and Justin's love for yoga and mindfulness.
This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability, humor, and resilience in the face of addiction. Tune in for an authentic, engaging, and hopeful conversation that reminds us all why the journey to sobriety is worth it.
