About this listen

Comedian Kristin Key joins Forrest to talk alcoholism, blackout drinking, recovery, mental health, and the moment she realized she couldn't joke her way out of it anymore. They get into rock bottoms that don't look like rock bottoms, performing drunk, hiding it from friends, and the weird mental gymnastics you do before you finally admit you have a problem. It's raw, funny, and full of real stories about denial, shame spirals, coming back from relapses, and rebuilding a life that doesn't revolve around booze or pretending everything's fine. 🎧 If you're sober, sober-curious, or just trying to keep it together, this one hits hard and still makes you laugh. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, recovery, mental health, and comedy.
