I'm going to call it weakness- but like of sympathy, sympathetic, seeking. Oh my god, there are so many people who have gone through shit like this and the, and they're better at handling you know what they wound up with than I am.
What happens when you mix an ultra runner, a singer/songwriter, a comedian, and a Yale professor? You get Mishka Shubaly, a multifaceted individual who has faced the challenges of addiction head-on and emerged stronger. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu sits down with Mishka to discuss his journey to sobriety and the role endurance has played in his recovery. Mishka's life is a testament to the fact that sobriety doesn't have to be dull.
He shares how his life remains just as exciting and chaotic as it was when he was drinking, but now he's in control. The conversation dives deep into the importance of mindset in recovery, with Mishka revealing that accepting he wasn't special was a pivotal moment for him. They also touch on the power of endurance sports in overcoming addiction. Mishka explains how running long distances helped him process trauma and stay committed to his sobriety.
The episode isn't just about the highs, though. Mishka opens up about dealing with criticism and negative reviews, turning these experiences into opportunities for growth. Throughout their chat, the emphasis is on staying true to oneself and not letting others dictate your path. Mishka highlights the benefits of exclusivity and accrued wisdom in recovery, showing that each person's journey is unique and valuable.
