Jamie Lee Curtis pointed her Instagram followers toward a project called “Recover Me Up” this week, tagging the Dopey Podcast account in a brief caption.
Curtis posted the project title alongside the Dopey Podcast account tag and didn’t add any further context. For anyone who’s tracked her advocacy work over the years, the connection to Dopey makes sense right away.
Curtis has been one of the most candid voices in Hollywood on addiction. She’s talked publicly for more than two decades about her dependence on prescription opioids. She’s said it started after a surgical procedure in the late 1980s. She got sober around 1999. Since then, recovery has stayed a consistent thread in how she talks about her life. It comes up in interviews, in panels, and in public appearances over the years.
At 67, she’s still one of the most recognizable names in the business. Most people know her from the Halloween franchise. She’s played Laurie Strode in that series since 1978. Her career stretches well beyond horror, though. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2023 for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” It’s considered one of the best performances of her career. In press coverage around that film, she talked openly about the way her personal history – including recovery – shaped her as a performer.
Dopey Podcast has built a real following in the recovery community. The show takes an honest, unfiltered approach to talking about addiction – relapses, rough patches, and the kind of dark humor that can come with long-term sobriety. That candor sets it apart from a lot of recovery content. The show has been running for years and has a dedicated listener base.
For that community, having Curtis’s name attached to a Dopey project carries some weight. She isn’t a passive advocate. She’s been open about her own story for more than two decades and has consistently shown up in conversations around addiction and sobriety.
“Recover Me Up” appears to be a new project tied to the Dopey network. Full details haven’t been announced publicly yet. Curtis’s tag suggests she’s directly involved, but the format – a new series, a guest episode, or something else entirely – hasn’t been spelled out.
No release date has been shared as of this writing. Anyone following Curtis’s work in the recovery space or the Dopey Podcast community will want to watch for more details as they become available.
