All the humor we had about the drug addiction, there's tons of it. But it didn't stop there, because this disease evolves, you know.
Imagine a room filled with laughter, tears, and the unfiltered truth about addiction and recovery. That's exactly what DopeyCon 2022 delivered. Hosted by Dave and Chris, this event was a lively mix of recovering addicts, comedians, and special guests who shared their stories with a raw honesty that left everyone in the room both entertained and deeply moved.
The lineup was impressive, featuring the likes of Brandon Novak, Andy Roy, Maia Szalavitz, and Marc Maron, each bringing their unique perspectives on the rollercoaster ride of addiction and the hard-fought battles of recovery. The event kicked off with a nod to Recovery in The Middle Ages, setting the tone for an evening that was as informative as it was entertaining. From Chloe LaBranche's comedic insights to Erin Khar's heartfelt reflections, the stage was a revolving door of compelling narratives.
Brandon Novak captivated the audience with tales of his work at Novak's House, while Maia Szalavitz offered profound insights from her book, sharing how she was contacted by Chris before his untimely passing. But it wasn't all serious talk. The event featured a hilarious game show segment where guests answered questions about Dopey, keeping the mood light and engaging. The camaraderie among the participants was palpable, and the audience couldn't help but cheer for their favorite contestants.
One of the most touching moments came towards the end when the hosts paid tribute to Chris, who tragically passed away from an overdose in 2018. It was a poignant reminder of the stakes involved in addiction and the importance of community and support in recovery. DopeyCon 2022 was more than just an event; it was a celebration of resilience, humor, and the human spirit.
