Jim Norton Gets Real: Sobriety at 18, Self-Doubt & Comedy

In this episode of Trying Not to Die, Jack Osbourne and Ryan Drexler sit down with comedian and longtime friend Jim Norton for one of the most brutally honest conversations yet. Jim opens up about getting sober at just 18 years old, why he still struggles with self-worth decades later, and how shame, addiction, and impulse control have shaped his life both on and off stage. From sex addiction and dopamine-driven habits to the reality of long-term recovery, this is a raw, unfiltered look at what it actually means to "work on yourself." The conversation dives deep into relationships, communication, and the damage that can come from saying things you can't take back, as well as the discipline it takes to stop yourself in the moment. Jim also shares his thoughts on confidence, comedy, and why he's never fully believed in his own success despite a massive career. Presented by Caveman Coffee https://www.DRINKCAVEMAN.COM ☕.
