Finding Authenticity: Lizzy Savetsky and Loz from Brutal Recovery Share Their Stories

Authenticity is the key to everything, and so, anytime that you're trying to force anything, it's just hard.
What happens when you mix brutal honesty with dark humor? You get an episode of Dopey that's both eye-opening and unexpectedly funny. In this episode, former Real Housewives of New York star Lizzy Savetsky and Loz from Brutal Recovery take center stage to share their raw and real experiences with addiction, shame, and recovery. Lizzy's journey starts in Texas, where she grew up Jewish, and takes a wild turn when she moves to New York City.
Her alcoholism spirals, but she recounts her story with a mix of courage and candidness that really hits home. Loz brings her own unique perspective, talking about her struggles with shame in recovery, including some eyebrow-raising tales of being a sexual predator and singing. Together, they dive deep into the complicated relationship between shame and addiction, shedding light on how it can trap people in their destructive habits.
They also explore their experiences with Adderall and alcohol, revealing how the drug made them feel 'sober enough' to drink more. This episode isn't just about the lows; it's also about finding authenticity in sobriety and using it as a powerful tool for healing. With a sprinkle of dark humor and a whole lot of honesty, this episode of Dopey is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or simply curious about its complexities.
