I don't think that you can really have a true spiritual practice and be in active addiction and active alcoholism, cause you're just, you don't even know.
Picture this: you're in the heart of San Francisco's vibrant bar scene, but instead of finding joy, you find addiction. This is the backdrop for Michelle Tea's compelling story, shared on the 'Seltzer Squad' podcast. Hosts Kate Zander and Jes Valentine sit down with Michelle, a poet, author, and podcaster, to discuss her path to sobriety. Michelle opens up about the challenges she faced with the city's bar culture and how it led her down a dark path.
But her story doesn't end there. She talks about the incredible benefits of sobriety, like discovering new hobbies and finding healthy ways to chase pleasure. One of the standout moments in this episode is Michelle's take on spirituality in recovery. She believes that a genuine spiritual practice is impossible while in active addiction. This insight adds a profound layer to her journey, highlighting the importance of inner growth alongside physical sobriety.
Kate and Jes also emphasize the need to support friends in recovery, making this episode a heartfelt guide for anyone on a similar path. So, if you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a good story, this episode has it all.
