Dopey 539: Jeannine Coulter Kicked Heroin in a Doghouse, Squatted a Cell Phone Store, and Kidnapped an old man

Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction

This week on Dopey! It’s the long-awaited episode with Chasing Heroine host Jeannine Coulter, recorded live at Jeremy’s house during Dopeywood!Jeannine tells the full, raw, and very dopey story of her descent into addiction: from being a straight-A Supreme Court hopeful, to getting obsessed with exercise and binge eating, to discovering coke in a redneck bar in Georgia, all the way to living in an abandoned cell phone store in Oceanside, California smoking heroin off foil.

Jeannine talks about doing meth that was pink, accidentally getting strung out at 30, and finding herself in a cinderblock junkie jungle gym run by tweakers. She reflects on her arrest record, her failed attempts at controlled drinking, and how it all somehow led to a decade of recovery, a podcast, and a TED Talk on post-traumatic growth.

PLUS: a touching email from a listener who outran the cops with a trunk full of weed and somehow lived to tell the tale. A beautiful PCP voicemail and much much more on a brand new epiksode of that good ol Dopey Show!
