Axe-Wielding Angels and Hallucinogenic Healing: Dopey79's Wild Ride
We are deadly serious about our recovery as well, but we do a show that laughs a survivor's laugh.
What do you get when you mix shamanism, hallucinogenics, and an axe-wielding camper? A wild episode of 'Dopey' that you won't want to miss. In this intriguing installment, hosts Dave and Chris welcome Tim, Chris' grandsponsor, who brings a fresh perspective on recovery. Tim dives into his experiences with shamanism and the controversial use of hallucinogenics like Ayahuasca and Psilocybin in addiction recovery.
He even shares a bizarre story of emerging from the woods with an axe, unsure if he was the 'Angel of Death' or the 'Angel of Life'. It’s a tale that’s both unsettling and oddly humorous. But that's not all. Dave recounts his recent brush with Hollywood royalty, Jamie Lee Curtis. She initially agreed to be on the show but backed out upon learning more about its format.
Her change of heart adds a touch of celebrity intrigue to the episode. The podcast's candid approach to discussing addiction and recovery has sparked debate. Some see it as a vital voice in the treatment community, while others view it as dangerously irreverent. Regardless of where you stand, 'Dopey' continues to blend dark humor with raw honesty, making for an unforgettable listening experience.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the complexities of addiction, this episode offers a unique take on a challenging topic.
