Dave from Dopey Joins Dr. Drew: Tackling Addiction and Breaking Stigmas

The degree of stigma is related to the perceived cause of addiction. If perceived not to be someone's fault, stigma is lower.
When Dave from the Dopey Podcast sits down with Dr. Drew and Bob Forrest, you know you're in for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about addiction. In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE', Dave, Bob, and Dr. Drew dive deep into the often misunderstood world of substance abuse and the stigmas that come with it. They discuss how the term 'junkie' is perceived and whether it can ever be politically correct to use.
The trio also pays tribute to Chris, Dave's late co-host, reflecting on how his passing has impacted both the Dopey Podcast and its listeners. But it's not all heavy; they sprinkle in some humor and off-the-cuff remarks, making the episode feel like a chat among friends. The conversation shifts to parenting, envy, narcissism, guilt, and anger—emotions that often intertwine with addiction and recovery. They also touch on the benefits of formal treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and CBD.
If you're looking for an episode that combines raw honesty with practical advice and a touch of humor, this one's for you.
