Your life seems so terrible, no, you know we laugh and let it go, and life so much better when you grow

This episode of dopey is brought to you by Aurorecovery, they're located in sunny Southern California

In Malibu and Western Los Angeles, they were created by Bob Forest and his friends Evan, Jared and Bob, their mission to help alcoholics and drug addicts by using compassion and connection rather than control

Their team has decades of experience in treating co-occurring mental health disorders along with addiction, including SMI, they make sure when you kick it's comfortable

Sounds like the greatest place in the world, and it's amazing because I've talked to a bunch of people who have been there and they vouch for every word I say in this ad

If you're fucked and you're willing to go to sunny Southern California and you're interested in amenities like surfing, sound bath, meditation, fucking equine therapy, the potentially spiritually transformative sweat lodge, you go to Aurore, I can't suggest Aurore enough, check them out at Aurorecovery.com

This episode of dopey is also brought to you by our very good friends at sober buddy, what is sober buddy? It's an app, but it's so much more, I say that glibly, but it's true, it's a community of addicts and alcoholics who are on the mission to get sober, to stay sober, to help other people stay sober

To 10 zooms a week with clinicians and other recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, I do want every Wednesday, they provide a sober tracker, they provide support, they have an app that has a sober only feed that is supportive and informative and helpful

So if you are fucked and you need an app to help you get well and if you're not fucked also check out your sober buddy, your sober buddy.com or sober buddy at the app store or the Google Play store
