Robert Iler: From Soprano Stardom to Sobriety

It's like when dessert comes to the table and you're like: oh, I'm not eating this and people are like: oh, come on, have you know?
What’s it like to grow up in the spotlight and battle addiction at the same time? In this episode of Dopey, Robert Iler, best known as A.J. Soprano from the iconic TV show 'The Sopranos', opens up about his tumultuous journey with substances like Xanax, Percocet, ecstasy, and Molly. Robert dives into how he landed the role on one of television’s greatest series and when his struggles with addiction began.
Imagine taking 30 hits of Molly at Madison Square Garden—Robert’s got a story for that, too. The episode also marks the return of Jim, who shares his own gritty tales of addiction and recovery. Both Robert and Jim reflect on how addiction strained their relationships, highlighting the importance of support systems and self-care in the recovery process.
Dave and Chris, your hosts, keep the conversation raw yet engaging, offering their own experiences and creating a non-judgmental space for these candid discussions. If you're curious about the impact of addiction on personal and professional lives or seeking relatable stories of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
