Summary

This week on Dopey! Dopey dream guest, Nikki Sixx calls in to talk about his incredible origin before the debauchery of sex, drugs and rock and roll with Mötley Crüe. He shares a bit about his upbringing, his brief time dealing chocolate mescaline and a ton of rock and roll stories. PLUS Howie, Dopey emails and a whole lot more on a legendary new episode of Dopey! MORE ABOUT DOPEY: Dopey Podcast is the world’s greatest podcast on drugs, addiction and dumb shit. Chris and I were two IV heroin addicts who loved to talk about all the coke we smoked, snorted and shot, all the pills we ate, smoked, all the weed we smoked and ate, all the booze we consumed and all the consequences we suffered. After making the show for 2 and a half years, Chris tragically relapsed and died from a fentanyl overdose. Dopey continued on, at first to mourn the horrible loss of Chris, but then to continue our mission - which was at its core, to keep addicts and alcoholics company. Whether to laugh at our time in rehab, or cry at the worst missteps we made, Dopey tells the truth about drugs, addiction and recovery. We continually mine the universe for stories rife with debauchery and highlight serious drug taking and alcoholism. We also examine different paths toward addiction recovery. We shine a light on harm reduction and medication assisted treatment. We talk with celebrities and nobodies and stockpile stories to be the greatest one stop shop podcast on all things drugs, addiction, recovery and comedy!

2:12.8	enough. Hey guys. I want to talk to you about sober, buddy, since it's super available

2:45.6	an interactive version that shifts your challenges and motivation based on how you respond
2:50.5	to it. The app also has a sober tracker that's down to the second and daily check-ins from
