I learned right away that what I'm good at is dark comedy, because, as you know, in the rooms and in meetings we are laughing a lot and we're laughing about really sick shit we used to do in the past.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest days into a creative masterpiece? Tess Sweet, an award-winning producer and director, shares her remarkable journey on the SHAIR Recovery Podcast. Hosted by Omar Pinto, this episode dives into Tess's past struggles with addiction and how she channeled her experiences into the dark comedy series, Cleaner Days. Tess opens up about her aimless early years, where artistic inclinations were overshadowed by drug abuse.
A terrifying wake-up call pushed her to get clean, but the road to recovery was far from easy. She had to rebuild her life from scratch, starting in a halfway house and eventually earning an MFA. Now, she lives her dream life in film. Tess’s story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and joy in unexpected places. She highlights the role of community support, humor, and spiritual growth in her recovery.
This episode offers a candid look at the challenges and triumphs of starting over after addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope.
