• The impact of addiction on his relationships, mental health, and self-worth
• Comedy as a lifeline—and how it became part of his recovery
• Getting sober while still chasing a career that lives on late
• nights and spotlight pressure
• The power of community, accountability, and just showing the hell up
• His belief that recovery isn't about being perfect—it's about being real
