Dopey is about a way for addicts not to feel shame and to feel like they have hope that sobriety can be fun.
Imagine navigating the chaos of addiction while the world watches your every move. That's exactly what Alexis Neiers did. Known for her role in the reality TV show 'Pretty Wild' and her involvement in the infamous Bling Ring, Alexis opens up in this episode of the Dopey podcast about her tumultuous journey through addiction and into recovery. From using heroin and smuggling drugs on set to hitting rock bottom, Alexis doesn't hold back.
She shares her raw experiences, including lighting another woman's hair on fire and a hit-and-run incident, painting a vivid picture of her darkest days. But it's not all about the past. Alexis talks about what it took to get sober at a young age, her early involvement in AA, and why she eventually chose to step away from 12-step programs. One standout moment is her insight into what makes a good counselor.
For Alexis, the best ones saw her passions and encouraged them rather than trying to fit her into a mold. She also stresses the importance of finding counselors who have personally battled addiction, as they can offer genuine empathy. The episode dives into the current opiate epidemic and the various treatment approaches, including the unique focus of her husband's treatment center.
Alexis also touches on the role of CBD in recovery and the importance of overcoming trauma to help others on their sobriety journey. With Dopey's signature blend of dark humor and serious discussion, this episode offers a powerful reminder that sobriety is not only possible but can be filled with joy and hope.
