Hannah Sward's Journey: Addiction, Sex Work, and Recovery on Dopey
“I want to call my dad, and it's all I ever had, and it's all I ever had, and it's all I ever had.”
Ever wondered what it's like to turn your darkest experiences into a powerful memoir? In this episode of Dopey, Hannah Sward, author of 'STRIP', lays it all bare. She recounts her raw and unfiltered journey through addiction, sex work, and the battle to reclaim her life. From the grip of alcoholism and crystal meth to the trauma and loneliness that haunted her, Hannah's story is both harrowing and inspiring.
Her honesty about becoming a prostitute and exotic dancer while grappling with addiction is a testament to her resilience. Joining her is Erin Khar, the mind behind 'Strung Out', who offers her unique brand of unlicensed advice on navigating recovery. The episode also features some classic Dopey elements—hippie voicemails and listener stories that add a touch of humor to the heavy topics discussed. Hannah's willingness to share her journey offers hope and insight for anyone facing similar struggles.
