I was more afraid of my life than I was of my death, that I was okay with dying, but what really scared the shit out of me was living.
What happens when a musician's life spirals out of control? Mishka Shubaly knows all too well. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, he takes us through his wild ride from addiction to sobriety. After earning an MFA in Fiction from Columbia University, Mishka chose dive bars over writing desks, living out of a minivan and sharing stages with bands like The Strokes and The Decemberists. But his love affair with opiates and alcohol almost ended it all.
His narrative 'Bad Dreams' marked a return to writing, shedding light on his dark romance with drugs. Mishka's Kindle Singles have since become bestsellers, praised for their raw grit and humor. In 'The Long Run', he details his transformation from a substance abuser to a sober ultrarunner. Living in Brooklyn, Mishka now writes music and works on a new memoir.
Through candid discussions about AA, meditation, and dealing with shame, he offers a glimpse into the complexities of addiction and the strength it takes to recover. Tune in to hear Mishka's story of resilience and find inspiration in his journey.
