Summary

This week on Dopey Tuesday! We are joined by fitness guru, my friend and friend of the show and host of The Adversity Advantage - Doug Bopst! Doug tells his crazy story and how going to prison might just have saved his life! PLUS: BONUS WITH MY DAD! And Emails! Doug's Highlights include: - throwing a party while his mom was in the hospital- going to the hospital for a panic attack- percocet and oxys- sniffing pills prep- weed dealing- stealing from people you know, manipulation- getting arrested- was about to get out of the game but his grandparents wouldn't lend him the money, then got arrested- owing the dealer $- shitting in his jail cell- tough love- losing weight/getting fit in jail- almost getting arrested the day after getting out of jail- reaching a goal and still not being happy 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 pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.
