Greg’s stories offer a unique look at how comedy can be a coping mechanism for those grappling with addiction. The conversation is both raw and funny, capturing the essence of the Dopey podcast.

Special guest Tracey Helton, known as the 'Heroine of Heroin', shares her invaluable experiences with naloxone and underscores the importance of being educated about drug interactions. Her insights are eye-opening and vital for anyone touched by addiction. Adding to the mix, the hosts play a voicemail from Tim in Philly, a regular contributor whose message is both troubling and essential.
It serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those in recovery. Despite the heavy topics, Dave and Chris manage to sprinkle in moments of levity. They recount their past drug escapades and even share a hilarious story about Steve’s subway misadventure. These lighter segments provide a necessary balance, making the episode engaging without losing its impactful message.
Whether you’re navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode of Dopey offers a compelling blend of humor and heartfelt discussion. Tune in for a dose of reality, laughter, and invaluable insights.
