•  How is it that most people can’t get the recommended treatment recommended by their doctors  it’s to expensive or their insurance won’t come it? I’d argue, we are not being counted. Here, I talk about real life experiences, feelings, seeking and discovering what it is at the root, that’s driving our decisions

Dave with Dopey podcast shares his amazing story of Recovery.  

Dopey is an American self-help and comedy podcast about personal experiences of substance abuse and addiction. The show is anonymously hosted by Dave, a recovering addict based in New York City, and was formerly co-hosted by Chris, a fellow addict and graduate student from Boston, Massachusetts. Dave has described the show as being about "drugs, addiction, and other dumb shit." Initially conceived as a show about the humorous side of addiction, specifically excluding stories about recovery, the focus has changed over time, especially following Chris' relapse and overdose death in July 2018.

As of 2019, Dave hosts the show alone, with occasional celebrity guests and sat down to tell me his amazing story
