Through Hell & High Water
In this deeply personal milestone episode of Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre steps out from behind the mic to share the unfiltered story of how he achieved two years of sobriety. From the early days when even 30 minutes without using felt impossible, to receiving his Black Key Tag at his home group, Zavian brings listeners into the heart of what “no matter what” recovery really looks like.
Growing up in the tiny town of Eminence, Kentucky, Zavian opens up about the beginnings of his addiction, the chaos that shaped him, and the spiritual reconnection that ultimately saved his life. He reflects on the power of consistency, the ups and downs of the past two years, and the way helping others has become his mission.
If you’re still struggling, if you’re trying to find your way out, or if you love someone who’s battling addiction, this episode is for you. Zavian’s story is a reminder that recovery is possible for anyone willing to take that first step.
This is Zavian’s story. 100% real. 100% Kentucky. And 100% hope.
