In this powerful solo episode of the Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre shares his deeply personal journey through a decade-long battle with addiction. Celebrating a sobriety date of June 26, 2023, Zavian reflects on the illusion of control, the dangerous trap of complacency, and what it truly takes to look in the mirror and change. Diving into principles from recovery literature, he breaks down the heavy toll of pride, the deadly reality of what’s on the streets today (like xylazine and "Russian roulette" poisoning), and the vital role of a higher power and a supportive fellowship. This is a story about what it takes to choose life, to choose to live, to live for yourself, your family, your community. Tune in for an episode that is as real, vulnerable, and dopenly honest as it gets.

In this episode of Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre welcomes a longtime friend from the recovery community, Harley. Hailing from Waddy in Shelby County, Harley opens up about her clean date of September 24th, 2024, and shares a raw look into a family history marked by addiction. For Harley, true recovery has meant a total commitment to life free from any mind-altering substances, including alcohol. For her, and so many who struggle with addiction, "one is too many and a thousand is never enough." This episode delves into the heavy reality of navigating motherhood while battling a fentanyl addiction, the terrifying moments that force us to face our reflection, and the incredible, life-saving impact of finding a home within the fellowship. If you are at the end of your rope and trapped in a vicious cycle, Harley’s message to you is simple: Reach out and ask for help. You don't have to navigate this alone.
