About this listen
From best-selling Kindle Singles author Mishka Shubaly comes Cold Turkey, a step by step roadmap for approaching the harrowing first month of sobriety. Himself 10 years sober, Shubaly addresses the slippery nature of alcoholism, and the messy, anxiety-ridden process of making the decision to stop drinking once and for all.
For Shubaly, there is no one-size-fits-all plan. He refutes the notion that the one and only solution for those struggling are 12-step programs and provides a guide for those who want a different approach to getting sober. This is a how-to for those who are serious about taking their lives back, but are ready to define their sobriety on their own terms.
In the process, Shubaly exposes - in brutal, up-close, and yes, even absurd and funny detail - what drove him to drink, how he put the bottle down, and the surprising life that awaited him when he did. Cold Turkey real, practical, and intimate advice for those struggling, straight from someone who has really been there. Sure, he understands that for the first three days, you might need to eat all the pizza and all the greasy Chinese food. But he also understands the urgent need to improve your life and habits little by little, day by day. Shubaly, no doubt, becomes the listener’s cheerleader. He wants anyone struggling to succeed.
Ultimately, the takeaway is very simple; if Shubaly did it, you can too. And more than that, he’ll be right there with you every step of the way.
©2019 Mishka Shubaly (P)2020 Audible Originals, LLC.Went on about what's wrong with AA a little bit too long (though I fully agree) and suggested smoking as a 'treat' (which it's not, it's the most addictive substance out there). Also went on about different damaging replacement behaviours, because his philosophy is that 'at least it's no longer alcohol'. Even though he does state that it shouldn't be a replacement addiction, it still struck me as careless to mention the alternatives that can be even worse than drinking.
But, despite my misgivings about those subjects, it really did motivate me to start taking care of myself better again.
