From Wild Rides to Sober Strides: Jason Ellis and Aurora on Dopey

I've been sober off of everything for Four Years... if you can't, that's when you need to take a look at it, which is kind of what you're saying.
Ever wondered how someone can go from the chaos of addiction to the clarity of recovery? In this episode of Dopey, Australian pro skater and Sirius XM host Jason Ellis calls in from his jacuzzi in Los Angeles to share his wild tales. From an Australian heroin adventure with prostitutes to a mountain of cocaine, Jason's stories are as jaw-dropping as they are cautionary. But the episode isn't just about the highs and lows of drug use.
Jason opens up about his attempts at recovery and why it didn't initially work out for him. His candid reflections offer a raw look at the complexities of addiction and the hurdles one faces in trying to get clean. Joining Jason is Aurora, a beloved friend of the show, who provides an update on her more sober life in LA.
Gone are the days of reckless abandon; now, Aurora is focused on helping others as a sponsor and navigating the everyday challenges of staying sober. She even throws in some Game of Thrones predictions for good measure! The episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending dark humor with heartfelt honesty. Jason and Aurora's stories highlight the importance of support systems and the various methods people use to combat addiction, including hypnosis.
They remind us that while the journey to sobriety is fraught with difficulties, it's entirely possible with the right help and mindset. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a mix of entertainment and valuable insights that might just make you see things differently.
