When something is not working in your life, how do you decide not to do the thing anymore? And it takes a lot of effort and a lot of work for me to recognize when something isn't working out.
Ever wondered how a comedian navigates the ups and downs of life, love, and sobriety? In this episode of '12 Questions', hosts Anna Valenzuela and Dave Yates sit down with Justin Williams, a Los Angeles-based comedian and writer, to unpack his journey through addiction and recovery. Williams doesn't hold back as he talks about the daily challenges of maintaining a sober relationship while juggling the pressures of the comedy world.
He offers a raw look at what it's like to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best every single day. Justin dives into recognizing when things aren't working in your life, especially when you've romanticized being a 'fuck-up' as part of your identity. He shares valuable lessons on setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and the crucial role of honest communication in relationships.
His insights into 12-Step programs and the concept of a higher power add another layer of depth to this candid conversation. With his trademark humor and wit, Justin makes this episode both engaging and thought-provoking. If you're interested in the intersection of comedy, sobriety, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen.
