šŸ”„ New Dopey! šŸ”„

This week, we dive deep into one of the craziest Dopey stories yet with Jimmy, a next-level meth-addicted criminal mastermind turned sober success story. If you’ve ever wondered what true tweaker madness looks like, buckle up—this one’s a ride.

šŸ‘€ Here’s just some of the shit Jimmy did while completely spun out:

  • Masterminded insane receipt scams to fund his habit šŸ’°
  • Pulled off full-on grand theft—boosting designer sunglasses, Levi’s, and even a bike in under 30 minutes at the mall 🚲
  • Got a meth kingpin to take him under his wing—until the guy went on the run and got locked up for life šŸ”«
  • Got so spun out his own parents got a restraining order against him for robbing them šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«
  • Squatted in a trap house with his best friend, his pregnant girlfriend… and the girlfriend’s mom šŸšļø
  • Started hooking up with the mom while still living in the house, like a true tweaker love story gone wrong 😳
  • Got arrested at least 30 times—with 9 warrants at the time of his final bust šŸš”
  • Had a bag of meth stuffed in his underwear during a police search… and miraculously got away with it 🫠

šŸ’„ But here’s the twist: after 13 years of destruction, Jimmy somehow turned it all around. No program, no 12 steps—just sheer force of will, an insane work ethic, and an obsession with self-improvement. Now? He owns a house, makes good money, and has a whole new life.

We talk meth, addiction, crime, prison, the power of discipline, and the weird guilt that comes with success after being such a disaster.
