Connection is the opposite of addiction.
Imagine finding out that the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety, but connection. That's the kind of eye-opening insight Johann Hari brings to this episode of Dopey. Known for his deep dives into the world of addiction and mental health, Johann joins hosts Dave and Chris to discuss some groundbreaking ideas. He delves into the famous Rat Park experiment, which revolutionized our understanding of addiction, and shares how Portugal's bold move to decriminalize drugs has yielded surprising results.
But it doesn't stop there. Johann passionately talks about the role of purpose in recovery and how feeling valued can be a game-changer for addicts. As always, the episode is sprinkled with Dopey's signature mix of humor and raw honesty. Mick, the legendary storyteller, drops a voicemail that’s both hilarious and poignant, while Alan wraps things up from his luxurious lake house.
Whether you're grappling with addiction or simply curious about its complexities, this episode offers a fresh perspective and a healthy dose of hope.
