In this raw, riotous, and deeply moving episode of We Recover Loudly, Shell is joined by writer, comedian, and former homeless addict Iain Anderson, creator of the critically acclaimed one-man show Traumedy: A Guide to Being a Fabulous Homeless Addict.

Together, they explore what it means to survive addiction, homelessness, identity loss, shame and manage to turn it all into a sell-out comedy show.

From growing up in working-class Scotland to hitting rock bottom on the streets of Barcelona, Iain shares:

• The trauma of addiction (not just what causes it — but what it costs)
• His battle with identity in the queer community and beyond
• Why honesty in recovery is more powerful than perfection
• Learning to parent yourself, find your voice, and build real connection
• The grief of losing fake families — and the joy of building chosen ones
• How laughter can shrink shame and break the silence

If you’ve ever felt like you had to become someone else just to survive, or that sobriety meant giving up who you are then this conversation will challenge, validate, and inspire you.
