Dopey 252: Dopey in the Family: Family Vacation! 5 years clean & sober, Chris’s Birthday, Heroin, Weed, Trauma

This week on Dopey! The family goes upstate for their summer vacation on the same week that Dave gets 5 years clean and Chris would've turned 36! Linda joins Dave for the vacation special as they share details of their misadventures on the road. They also look back at the transformative moment in their relationship and Dave's sobriety, when 5 years earlier they went on a much different kind of trip. Also we get a super cool voicemail, a crazy deep and timely email and Alan pitches in at the last second with a not so stellar review. All that and much much more on a countrified, opulent, excessive cheap cookie eating episode of Dopey! More About Dopey: Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit . Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery . We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism . We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery . We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment .
