Everybody likes a good dopey story and my guest had one of the craziest dopey stories that was ever in public.
Ever wondered what happens when a rock star's life spirals out of control? This episode of Dopey features Michael Todd, the founding bass player of Coheed and Cambria, as he opens up about his turbulent journey. Michael takes us from the heights of touring the world to the depths of opiate addiction and a crime that changed everything.
His candid recounting of the highs and lows, including legal troubles and the end of his career with Coheed and Cambria, is both gripping and heart-wrenching. But it's not all doom and gloom. Michael's story is also one of hope and recovery. He shares how support groups played a crucial role in helping him get sober and stay that way. You'll hear some wild, drug-fueled anecdotes and even some controversial takes on 12-step programs.
Plus, unlicensed advice columnist Erin Khar joins for a Q&A session, and Dave's dad makes a surprise appearance to wrap up this powerful episode. If you're interested in addiction, recovery, or just love a good redemption story, this episode is a must-listen.
