Curious about the gritty realities of addiction and recovery, mixed with a touch of humor? This episode of Dopey has you covered. Hosts Dave and Chris kick off the year by welcoming back Joe Schrank, the outspoken owner of Remedy Recovery. Joe shares his unfiltered thoughts on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and reminisces about Chris, including a wild story involving Ecstasy and a sober loft in Brooklyn.

Then, they bring on Laurie Dhue, a major network news anchor, who opens up about her own battles with addiction. Ever wondered what it's like to do lines before meeting a president? Laurie spills the beans on her pre-George Bush White House antics and reflects on her long road to sobriety. And just when you think it can't get any better, Dave's partner Linda joins the conversation.

They chat about everything from a nerve-wracking trip to the dentist to celebrating a million downloads. The episode also touches on New Year's resolutions, the ongoing saga of Artie Lange, and even includes some listener reviews and voicemails. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the highs and lows of addiction, this episode offers a raw, honest, and occasionally hilarious look at what it means to navigate life after addiction.
