Greg Williams: Crafting Recovery Stories Through Film

Now, as a filmmaker, he has endeavored to pull back the curtain on the faceless suffering and daily accomplishment of people in recovery from addictions.
Meet Greg Williams, a millennial filmmaker with a powerful story to tell. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Greg takes us through his journey from his first drink at the tender age of 12 to becoming a beacon of hope for those battling addiction. His film, The Anonymous People, sheds light on the often hidden struggles and triumphs of people in recovery.
Greg's own path wasn't smooth; it took a near-fatal car accident and the support of on-campus recovery fellowships to find consistent sobriety. Now, he's using his talent to change the narrative around addiction. Greg discusses the making of The Anonymous People and the hurdles he faced in bringing these raw and real stories to the screen. He talks about the stigma that surrounds addiction and how sharing personal recovery stories can break down these barriers.
Greg also touches on the role of 12-step programs in his own recovery, clearing up common misconceptions and emphasizing their importance for long-term sobriety. This episode is not just for those in recovery but for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of addiction and the power of storytelling in healing. Greg's insights and experiences offer a fresh perspective on what it means to recover and how sharing our stories can make a difference.
Tune in to hear Greg's inspiring journey and learn more about the transformative power of recovery narratives.
