Dave Manheim's Journey: From Addiction to Inspiring Others on the Dopey Podcast
I got sober because I never hated myself as much as I did in that period. It was so sad I still couldn't get it together for Years.
Dave Manheim's story is a compelling tale of transformation. Growing up, Dave had a relatively good upbringing, but his life took a turn when he discovered substances at summer camp. This marked the beginning of a long and challenging battle with addiction. During college, he immersed himself in the pot-smoking culture, unaware that this would lead to a prolonged struggle with drugs. Despite numerous attempts to get sober in his 20s, nothing seemed to work.
It wasn't until Dave had his first child that he realized he needed to make a change if he wanted to be a present and responsible father. His journey to sobriety wasn't easy, but it was driven by a deep desire to improve his life for the sake of his daughter. Dave eventually found the strength to ask for help, which led him to sobriety and the creation of the Dopey podcast.
Now, he dedicates his life to working a recovery program and helping others on their path to sobriety. Tune in to hear Dave's inspiring story and learn how he turned his life around.
