Quotes to Make You Question Everything: “Painkillers are the Trojan horse of addiction—and they walk right through the gates.”“I’m raising $10 million by day and dying inside by night. Welcome to addiction in a tie.”“Nitrous didn’t make me relapse—it made me cry and rethink everything.” Dopey Milestones This Week: Fan Story of the Week: Diane gets Dopey socks for claiming she invented boofing meth—because that’s how you win at harm reduction.OG Dope Confession: Dawn’s Afghanistan coke adventure proves no passport photo is complete without pinprick pupils.William Cope Moyers Breaks Records: First guest to pull off “AA meets Suboxone advocacy” without breaking a sweat.
