Mishka Shubaly's Bold Path to Sobriety Without AA or Rehab
I think the epiphany that I had finally was that no epiphany was ever going to come.
Mishka Shubaly's story is one that breaks the mold. In this episode of the 'One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Mishka opens up about his unique journey to sobriety, achieved without the traditional support of AA or rehab. Known for his sharp wit and musical talent, Mishka dives into the nitty-gritty of getting sober cold turkey.
He shares how he navigated the rough waters of addiction recovery on his own terms, offering a fresh perspective for those who might feel out of place in conventional recovery programs. But it’s not all about the struggle. Mishka emphasizes the importance of joy and fun in the recovery process. He challenges the notion that sobriety has to be all about hard work and darkness, urging listeners to find what makes them giddy with excitement.
Whether it's picking up a new hobby or reconnecting with old passions, Mishka believes that fun is a crucial element in staying sober. Another key point Mishka discusses is the concept of a higher power. While he’s not a fan of AA, he acknowledges the value in believing in something greater than oneself. This doesn't have to be a deity; it could be anything that gives life meaning and direction.
For Mishka, this broader view helps him stay grounded and focused on his sobriety goals. He also touches on his resistance to AA and how he found alternative ways to get the support he needed. His insights are particularly valuable for those who feel alienated by traditional recovery methods. Mishka has even penned a book aimed at people who share his skepticism towards AA, providing a free resource for those seeking different paths to recovery.
