For me, the problem in my life was not the absence of god, it was the presence of alcohol.
What happens when you decide to quit drinking without the usual support systems? Mishka Shabali, an anti-theist and agnostic, shares his raw and real journey of kicking alcohol to the curb, cold turkey style. In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Mishka opens up about his struggles with addiction, the dark clouds of depression and anxiety that loomed over him, and the pivotal moment he chose sobriety.
He dives into how his non-religious beliefs shaped his recovery process and how he discovered new tools and routines to maintain his sobriety. Mishka's story is far from ordinary; from surviving a shipwreck to being a clue on Jeopardy!, his life experiences add a unique flavor to his narrative. He emphasizes the importance of embracing the duality of human nature and paying your dues in recovery.
If you're curious about how someone can navigate the choppy waters of addiction recovery without leaning on AA or religious frameworks, this episode offers a fresh perspective. It's a candid conversation that might just inspire you to find your own path to sobriety.
