DOPEYCON: An Unforgettable Night of Addiction Stories and Recovery

I miss Chris so much and you know Todd died Last Summer. Um, and when his girlfriend called me and told me he had died, it was Six Weeks like to the day of Todd dying, and I didn't believe her, because I had had this whole talk with Chris the night before, where he told me she was crazy because he was high.
Imagine a room buzzing with laughter, tears, and stories of resilience. That's what Dopeycon brought to life when around 100 fans gathered in Manhattan for this unique event. Hosted by Dave and Chris, the evening was a blend of raw honesty, humor, and heartfelt moments. Guest speakers like Bill B. Rae and Nick Flynn took the stage, sharing their personal battles with addiction and their paths to recovery.
The event wasn't just about entertainment; it was a tribute to the Dopey community and a solemn remembrance of Chris and Todd, two beloved members who lost their lives to addiction. The night also highlighted the Mountainside scholarship, a beacon of hope for those still struggling, offering them a chance at treatment and recovery.
Dopeycon perfectly encapsulated what the Dopey podcast stands for: a mix of debauchery and recovery, laughter and tears, all while fostering a sense of connection and support within the recovery community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration, understanding, or just a good laugh amid the chaos of addiction.
