Dopey 407: From Junkie to Judge: One Womans Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction, Meth, Self Harm, Rape, Secular Recovery

Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

This week on Dopey! TRIGGER WARNING!! We are joined by Federal Judge, recovery advocate and author, Mary Beth O'Connor - and she hits us full force with the unfiltered Dopey. From shooting meth, sexual abuse, cutting, draining abscesses and much more. Mary Beth delivered the diabolically debauched Dopey - and still explained her non 12 step style of recovery and how she made it out! It is a not to be missed episode! PLUS! Emails, Voicemails, My Dad vs Seymour, the return of Joey Pepper and much more on this new classic of that good old Dopey show.

More on 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!
