I wanted alcohol to just not be a factor in my life, like something I didn't think about and, you know, didn't care about, and you know that I had a life independent of alcohol and, you know, in order to get there, I do think that you need to be invested in sobriety and self-care and sort of healing yourself and, um, you know, fixing the things you fucked up.
Imagine transforming from an alcoholic drug abuser to a sober ultrarunner. That’s exactly what Mishka Shubaly did, and he shares his riveting story in this episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages'.

In this conversation, Mishka opens up about his first steps towards sobriety, which he details in his NY Times best-selling audible book, 'Cold Turkey'. He also shares his thoughts on the slippery nature of alcoholism and the messy process of deciding to quit drinking. What makes this episode stand out is Mishka’s belief that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.

They touch on the benefits and potential pitfalls of physical activity for those in recovery.
