I used to be so rightfully terrified that, if I would show up to life as I really am, life would hate me.
Ever wondered what it takes to find your true self while battling addiction? Fifi Dosch’s story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Fifi felt like an outsider in her own life. She feared that showing her true emotions could lead to dire consequences. This sense of isolation followed her to film school in Bozeman, Montana, and eventually to a stand-up comedy career in Los Angeles.
But the laughter on stage masked a deeper struggle with substance abuse. Exhausted by her own habits, Fifi made the courageous decision to quit drinking. Four years into her sobriety journey, she began another profound transformation: transitioning from male to female. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', host Nick Morton sits down with Fifi to explore her path from addiction to living her authentic truth.
They discuss the pressures of societal expectations, the role of family support, and the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals dealing with addiction. Fifi's story is a testament to the power of self-acceptance and the importance of being true to oneself. Whether you're navigating your own recovery or supporting someone who is, Fifi's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
