Dopey 588: Drinking Pee, Classic Alcoholic, Opanas, Shipwrecked, Mark Lanegan, School Shootings & Sobriety — Musician and Author Mishka Shub

Film Festival Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! We continue to celebrate the Knicks championship, we prepare for the ticker tape parade, and share a pair of horrifying junkie stories involving blue toilet water and fabric softener injections. We promotes the upcoming Dopey Recovery Film Festival and we read comments from the Brandon Novak episode before sitting down with acclaimed musician and author Mishka Shubaly. Mishka opens up about growing up with a distant father, surviving a school shooting, discovering alcohol at 14, leaving home at 15, and falling into a life of heavy drinking and self-destruction. He talks about moving to New York, shipwrecking in the Bahamas, surviving by drinking his own urine from a hard hat, and eventually quitting alcohol without rehab or AA. The conversation explores writing, music, Bukowski, Mark Lanegan, Pink Floyd, resentment, running, dogs, hunting, atheism, and recovery. Mishka explains how ultra-distance running became his own recovery program and why community remains the missing piece in his sobriety. All that and somehow a ton more - on the brand new episode of that good old dopey show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
