I just wish there was a way we stopped spending money with the war on drugs, because that's an endless, freaking joke, that we know there's so much conspiracy and propaganda and that getting drugs on the streets by whatever government agency needs to.
How does one bounce back from the depths of addiction and trauma? In this episode of Dopey, Ashley Hamilton returns to share more about his tumultuous journey. From his harrowing experiences with fentanyl and dilaudid to the emotional scars of trauma and PTSD, Ashley lays it all bare. He recounts the dark days of speedballing through an IV drip in the hospital and the struggle to regain sobriety after a painful relapse. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Ashley also opens up about his path to healing, the role of the twelve-step program, and his candid thoughts on the war on drugs. His critique of government involvement in drug distribution is both eye-opening and thought-provoking. Throughout the episode, hosts Dave and Chris create a safe space for Ashley's raw storytelling. They mix serious discussions with light-hearted moments, including games, voicemails, and even a chat about cake and ice cream.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions—heartbreaking yet hopeful, serious yet sprinkled with humor. It's a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or trauma, offering a blend of empathy, insight, and a dash of levity.
