Dopey Tuesday Patreon Teaser -Dopey Tuesday Patren Teaser - Heart Attack Doug - How to Stay Sober if you aren't doing any work
from Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction · host Dave & Chris
Dopey wood tickets: https://www.showclix.com/event/dopeywood-2026 Full Episode: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this Dopey Tuesday, Dave and Heart Attack Doug remember Cross Talk Larry — the vegetarian, money-collecting, sweat-soaked meeting staple who felt like he’d always been there… until he wasn’t. They talk about the fleeting nature of lifein AA, the uncomfortable debate about flowers and donations, and whether sobriety protects you from dying (spoiler: it doesn’t). Plus: The air fryer conspiracy. Raw chicken legs. A relapse email that hits hard. The realization that your mind can still try to destroy you — even sober. And Dave puts Doug on the spot about sponsorship, step work, and what’s actually keeping him sober now. AI NOTES AND GRAPHICS - SORRY EVERYONE! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
