I suppose the thing that left me was that I don't really feel separate from anything, and that was one of the other things that really, when I finally gave up drinking, it was too dark, too depressing, and the hangovers were horrendous.
Ever wondered what it's like to go from the heights of fame to the depths of addiction and back again? This episode of Dopey has got you covered. Featuring the legendary Colin Hay from Men at Work, YouTube star Jessica Kent, and a cameo from Dave's Dad, Alan, this episode is a rollercoaster of stories, insights, and even a bit of family banter.
Colin Hay opens up about his journey through the wild world of 1980s rock stardom, sharing candid tales of excess and the tough road to sobriety. You'll hear about the unexpected fallout from their hit 'Down Under' and how he managed to turn his life around. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of rock 'n' roll, Colin's stories will keep you hooked. Next up, Jessica Kent brings her unique perspective as a former addict turned YouTube sensation.
She talks about the gritty reality of withdrawal and recovery, including an unforgettable tale involving a Greyhound bus. Jessica also dives into what she calls the 'addict superpower'—the surprising skills and resilience that come from her experiences. And just when you think the episode can't get any more interesting, Dave's Dad, Alan, jumps in with updates on the Dopey Foundation and a few playful jabs at Dave. Alan’s insights into addiction support and recovery are both informative and heartwarming.
This episode doesn't shy away from controversial topics either. From discussions on microdosing and ayahuasca to the benefits of exercise and acupuncture in recovery, it covers a wide range of approaches to overcoming addiction. Plus, you'll get the inside scoop on the legal battles surrounding Men at Work's iconic song 'Down Under'.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or just curious about the lives behind these incredible stories, this episode of Dopey offers a blend of humor, honesty, and hope.
