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.

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.

In the 3rd episode of Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre sits down with fellow Kentuckian Matthew 'Fig' Nelson for a moving conversation about what it takes to find recovery. 

With raw honesty, Fig shares how his individual battles with addiction tore his life and relationships apart, and how finding peace within himself became the foundation for his healing.

In this episode, Zavian interviews fellow recovering addict Daniel Botula.  Daniel shares his experience, strength, and hope in his recovery journey.  He's been in recovery for 3.5 years.
