Summary

This week on Dopey! World class heroin addict in recovery and drummer from NOFX Eric 'Smelly' Sandin calls into the show! Hear a lifetime of debauchery from a very young age and how recovery might've inadvertently propelled NOFX into being the most important independent punk rock band in the last 20 years! World Class Dopey right here! Punk rock, vomiting, pharma farts, getting sobriety right the first time, and having a life of honesty and love! Plus crazy emails, a Dopeycon 3 preview and much more on this weeks brand new installment of that old Dopey show   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!
