AJ Daulerio's Journey: From Gawker Scandal to Sobriety on Dopey

I care when an addict in recovery or an addict who's struggling reaches out, I respond, and I don't think of it as service, but I do think of it as doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
Ever wondered how a media mogul grapples with addiction and finds his way to recovery? In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris sit down with AJ Daulerio, the mind behind The Small Bow recovery newsletter. AJ's life has been a whirlwind, from his notorious stint at Gawker to facing a colossal lawsuit from Hulk Hogan. But this conversation isn't just about headlines and lawsuits; it's about the raw and real journey of battling addiction and finding sobriety.
AJ opens up about his darkest moments, the pull of cocaine, and the profound impact of sharing the often overlooked 'boring parts' of recovery. His story is a testament to the power of rigorous honesty and the importance of connecting with others who have walked a similar path. Throughout the episode, you'll hear AJ's unfiltered thoughts on his struggles and triumphs, making it a compelling listen for anyone touched by addiction or recovery.
Plus, there's a fun twist at the end with a contest to predict Dopey's two-millionth download, offering a chance to win some cool merch. Dive into this episode for an authentic, heartfelt, and occasionally humorous exploration of addiction and recovery.
