PLUS: BONUS WITH MY DAD! And Emails! Doug's Highlights include: - throwing a party while his mom was in the hospital - going to the hospital for a panic attack - percocet and oxys - sniffing pills prep - weed dealing - stealing from people you know, manipulation - getting arrested - was about to get out of the game but his grandparents wouldn't lend him the money, then got arrested - owing the dealer $ - shitting in his jail cell - tough love - losing weight/getting fit in jail - almost getting arrested the day after getting out of jail - reaching a goal and still not being happy More About 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 pathfinding the route to the heart of the opioid epidemic.

If you feel like you're in a rut or need a motivational pep talk, this episode is for you! Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author, and speaker. However, his young adult life couldn't have been more different than his current reality. Around his 21st birthday, Doug was detoxing from opiates in a jail cell after years of drug addiction. He turned to physical exercise as an outlet which ultimately catalyzed him to face his demons head-on and completely reinvent himself. Doug's mission today is to inspire others to overcome adversity, break free from destructive addictions, and become the best version of themselves.  Here's the juice: How Doug's crippling insecurities and need for acceptance led him to drugs The moment that rock-bottomed him but ultimately turned his life around   How negative habit stacking is just as much of a thing as positive habit stacking What got him to start working out in jail (spoiler: he couldn't do one pushup when he started) Why reaching your “most successful” point is often your most unhappy one How spirituality helped him drop his ego and allowed him to see the bigger picture No one is coming to save you; you have to take ownership of your own life The role of community when bettering yourself  The concept of addiction transference – in his case, being addicted to drugs shifted to being addicted to validation Why you have to determine an identity for yourself or you'll become a chameleon, shaped by other people's identities When you're not feeling confident in yourself and your own victories you're unable to celebrate other people's wins What steps to take when you've hit rock bottom The importance of working your adversity muscle. Pain is like an adaptogen, the more you face it the stronger and more resilient you become    Connect with Doug: Follow HERE Web HERE Connect with Olivia: Follow HERE Shop herbal formulas HERE

Leaning into addiction, self worth, and health.  You never know when you hit your breaking point where it can lead and how it helps you find your purpose. That is exactly what happened too Doug.

Today's guest is Doug Bopst, award winning personal trainer, author, speaker, and podcast host. Doug has an incredible transformation story from a former incarcerated drug addict to where he is today and says he is lucky to have survived his 25th birthday. Through perseverance and a complete mindset shift, Doug turned his pain into purpose to become a successful, multifaceted individual. In this episode, we discuss childhood trauma, how his choices that lead him down a dark path were driven by a need for acceptance, addiction to the validation of being wanted or needed, why drugs created a false sense of confidence at his most insecure point in life, coping with anxiety and depression, understanding that no one is coming to save you, finding the strength to push past rock bottom and the pivotal moment that turned his life around, fitness as medicine for physical and mental health, tips for staying disciplined and becoming your own biggest advocate, doing the work and saving your own life. I was so inspired after talking to Doug and I think conversations like these are so important to have, whether it's my own rock bottom story or someone else's. Even though all of our stories are different, I hope to anyone listening who may be struggling that this shows that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and you CAN find the strength to push yourself past your adversity.

Your mindset is a key to overcoming adversity and empowering ourselves from victim to victor. How we think and speak about ourselves is a strong determinator of our reality and this episode is all about using your disadvantages to your advantage and overcoming anything In life. I sit down with Doug Bopst, a former drug addict and convicted felon who found transformation while serving jail time. He turned to drugs at 14 years old as a way to cope with an emotionally dysfunctional and broken home life including abuse, severe bullying, and the challenges that come with parents of divorce. This lead him down a spiral of addiction and selling drugs, and he was eventually pulled over and caught with drugs in his car. What seemed like the worst day of his life, turned out to be his greatest blessing. Doug speaks a powerful message in this conversation to help others harness the power within them to “kill your excuses” and live life to their greatest potential. In this episode we cover: Doug's background and how the narrative about himself growing up shaped his reality Self talk, mindset, and sense of sense being hugely important in life How we can get to the root cause of behavior/feelings in childhood before it becomes self destructive Being a victim of something versus living in victimhood mentality How Doug's cell mate in jail deeply impacted his mindset and what was instilled in him that he never herd before Life is a lot of times about perception and how you look at a situation makes or breaks you How do we learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable? Creating your own reality If “pulling yourselves up by your bootstraps” is a privileged mentality. What about those living in extremely hard circumstances? How to turn shame or regret from your past into purpose How can people set goals and stay inspired to show up consistently?

In this week's episode I am joined by my friend, and fellow podcast host Doug Bopst. I celebrated my 11 years in recovery on March 8th and I thought that doing an episode on recovery was only fitting. This episode will leave you feeling inspired even if you don't deal with substance issues as Doug's story is about so much more than addiction. We talk about the importance of human connection, how childhood trauma effects out psychy's, and answer the age old question, "is weed really a "gateway" drug?"   If you or someone you know needs addiction treatment please visit www.ororecovery.com    Follow Alexis (@itsalexishaines), join our Facebook group, and follow @recoveringfromreality on Instagram to stay up to date on all things RFR!
