Comedian and longtime podcaster Greg Fitzsimmons joins host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor for a candid, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about his decades-long journey without alcohol—and why he never calls himself “sober.”

From getting drunk behind the bleachers at 13 to quitting after bombing a stand-up set in Boston, Greg opens up about addiction in his Irish Catholic family, dealing with anger, parenting in the age of weed vapes, and how comedy became his salvation. He also talks about his use of mushrooms for healing, his one-night relapse, and why AA wasn’t the right fit for him—even if its ideas stuck.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit into the “sober” box but knew they needed to make a change. Come for the wisdom, stay for the punchlines. No judgment, no dogma—just real talk.
