Semuju's Spiritual Awakening: Overcoming Addiction in Kampala

I came to realize that I wasn't living a normal life when I was Years old. I had also begun to drink heavily, often taking a small bottle to be filled at an infomawaraji distiller near our home.
Imagine discovering that the root of your drinking problem lies in ancestral spirits. This is exactly what happened to Semuju, a man from Kampala, Uganda. In this episode of 'I Closed the Depot', we dive into Semuju's fascinating journey to sobriety. Through a mix of choral divination and dream interpretation, Semuju confronts the spiritual forces that drove him to drink.
His story is not just about personal struggle but also about the power of community and cultural beliefs in overcoming addiction. If you're curious about how traditional practices can play a role in modern recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
