Paulie's Journey: From Ecstasy Dealer to Recovery Advocate

When you're using heroin, when you're strung out, you can't be that happy to see anybody that doesn't have heroin for you.
Ever wondered what it’s like to navigate the chaotic world of drug addiction and come out on the other side? In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris introduce Paulie, a former ecstasy dealer and recovering heroin addict from Suffolk County. Paulie takes listeners on a wild ride through his life, from the strip malls of Long Island to the gritty projects of the Bronx.
His story is one of extreme highs and devastating lows, culminating in a wicked relapse before his triumphant return to sobriety. But that's not all. Fentanyl Jay also makes an appearance, sharing his own harrowing tale of addiction and his 'last kiss goodnight'. Amidst these intense stories, Dave and Chris sprinkle in their trademark dark humor, making the heavy subject matter more approachable. They don’t shy away from the gritty details but balance them with moments of levity and reflection.
This episode isn't just about the chaos of addiction; it's about hope, resilience, and the importance of support systems. If you're looking for an unfiltered, raw look at the realities of drug addiction mixed with a surprising dose of humor, this episode is a must-listen.
