Summary

This week on Dopey! DOPEY WOOD IS COMING!!!! SICK EMAILS AND VOICEMAILS! LSD AND MUSHROOMS, RECOVERY AND MORE! Abbey Fickley returns for part two of her wild and heartfelt story. From postpartum benzos and relapsing in sober living… to becoming a sober mom influencer and facing brutal internet backlash, Abbey opens up about parenting, co-parenting boundaries, and why she stopped posting her daughter Myla online. Emotional, raw, and real. Then we pay tribute to n amazing spirit of recovery - the one and only Ray the Clammer, a legend in Long Island recovery died very early Thursday morning.. We play a classic 2023 conversation they had in his car at the Sayville dog park. Ray tells it all: freebasing for days, living in the Port Authority tunnels, the clamming hustle, homelessness, near suicide, 12-step redemption, and ultimately, dying with 30 years sober. REST IN PEACE RAY! THANK YOU ABBEY! ALL TTHAT AND MORE ON A BRAND NEW EPISODE OF THAT GOOD OLD DOPEY SHOW!
