From Spit to Sobriety: Dopey77's Wild Ride Through Addiction
Listening to the podcast and hearing some hilarious stories from people on the recovery side of the dope game reassures me that things do get better.
Ever wondered how low someone might go to get their next fix? In this episode of 'Dopey', Dave and Chris share some of the most cringe-worthy and pathetic things they've done to score drugs. Chris recounts a particularly desperate attempt to inject cocaine using spit, a move that led to nothing but pain and regret. But that's just the beginning. Chris' sponsor, Dylan, calls in with his own wild stories and a few nuggets of wisdom about recovery.
Dylan, who has opened several sober living homes, shares his journey of staying clean and the lengths he's gone to help others do the same. He even talks about playing basketball with young addicts and the daily grind of staying sober. The episode takes a poignant turn when Dave reads an email from a listener who admits to tuning into 'Dopey' while buying drugs each morning.
This raw honesty sets the stage for a deeper discussion about relapse and the never-ending battle against addiction. Dave also updates listeners on the ongoing struggles of comedian Artie Lange, adding another layer of real-world context to their conversation. As the episode wraps up, a caller shares his thoughts on how listening to 'Dopey' has given him hope during his own recovery journey.
The mix of humor, raw honesty, and heartfelt advice makes this episode a rollercoaster you won't want to miss. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the dark comedy of addiction, 'Dopey77' offers a candid look at the highs and lows of trying to stay clean.
