Mike Bocchetti's Journey from Alcoholism to Recovery on Dopey

I had no idea at all, Dave, how the business ran, and I thought in The First Year I'd be shown to go out and I'll like Andrew Blake.

Known for his hilarious antics and quick wit, Mike takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through his early days as a hardcore alcoholic and the challenging road to sobriety. This episode isn't just about the laughs—though there are plenty—but also about the gritty realities of addiction and the triumphs of recovery.
Mike reminisces about his wild days in Manhattan, painting a vivid picture of the chaos that once defined his life. From the highs of performing with legends like Artie Lange to the lows of battling his demons, Mike's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. He doesn't hold back, sharing candid reflections on what it took to finally get off the sauce and stay sober in an industry that often glamorizes excess.
Listeners will find themselves captivated by Mike's authenticity and humor, as he navigates through tales of old-school New York City and the entertainment world's pressures. This episode offers a unique blend of dark comedy and heartfelt honesty, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or simply curious about the human spirit's resilience.
