On The Mend

Matt Willis Q&A: Addiction, Getting Sober and Facing Your Emotions


Listen Later

Have you ever realised that the biggest obstacle to your growth might be you?


In this solo episode, Matt Willis answers your questions and shares powerful moments from his personal journey through addiction, recovery, and the ongoing work of self-awareness. Matt talks about the emotional realisation he had when he understood he was the common denominator in all his drinking situations, and how being "emotionally young" in recovery has challenged him to confront feelings he once numbed with alcohol. 


He also shares the pivotal moment when Jack Osborne planted the seed for his decision to seek help and how rock bottom doesn’t always look like you’d expect. With practical recovery tools, including the "Fact or Thought" technique for managing negative self-talk, and the importance of self-compassion, Matt offers a raw and honest look at his journey. 


This episode is about embracing vulnerability, facing tough truths, and continuing to move forward, no matter how imperfect the process.


This episode covers the following themes: addiction, sobriety, self-awareness, and personal growth.
