From Mescaline Kingpin to Recovery: Johnny Jukebox's Wild Ride on Dopey

I don't know what happened, but January is my clean day and my first meeting was at dinosaurs in Seville, and I asked this guy, Bob, to sponsor me, and whatever the f*ck he told me. He said you got to read the book, man, you got to read the book.
Ever wondered what it's like to go from being a teenage mescaline kingpin to a crackhead burglar, and then find your way to recovery? In this episode of Dopey, Johnny Jukebox, a recovering alcoholic from Long Island, takes you on his tumultuous journey. Sharing raw and unfiltered stories, Johnny opens up about his early days dealing mescaline, his descent into crack addiction, and the endless scratch-offs and 'happy endings' that marked his rock bottom.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Johnny's tale is also one of transformation and hope, as he talks about his 'psychic change' and the path to recovery that followed. The episode doesn't stop there. Jeremy Jackson, best known for his role on Baywatch, joins in on the Dopey Fitness Challenge, adding another layer of insight into overcoming compulsions and using breath work for psychedelic effects.
With a mix of humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, this episode offers a gripping look at the highs and lows of addiction and the power of recovery. Perfect for anyone looking for an honest and engaging story about the realities of addiction.
