I still find it hard to believe that this is the same show that I used to make with Chris, and the reason he doesn't make it anymore is because he relapsed and he died.
Ever wondered how faith can play a role in overcoming addiction? This episode of Dopey introduces us to Hazzie, a first-generation New Yorker and first responder, who opens up about her battle with addiction and her path to recovery. Things kick off with a tense moment as Dave and his guest receive a concerning message from Matt W.C., a dedicated listener contemplating a meth relapse after three years of sobriety.
This sets the stage for a raw and honest conversation about the struggles and temptations that come with addiction. Hazzie’s story is a testament to the power of faith and resilience. She shares how her spiritual journey through Islam became a cornerstone in her recovery process. From dealing with the pressures of parenting while battling addiction to finding solace in spirituality, Hazzie’s narrative is both gripping and inspiring.
Her candid reflections on PTSD, the challenges of being a first responder, and the importance of community support provide valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction. But it’s not all heavy; the episode is sprinkled with moments of humor and light-hearted banter, reminding listeners that even in the darkest times, there can be laughter. With emails from listeners, some music, and the usual Dopey antics, this episode offers a well-rounded look at the complexities of addiction and recovery.
Tune in to hear Hazzie’s powerful story and gain a deeper understanding of how faith and community can help overcome even the toughest battles. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is sure to resonate.
