Shahjehan's Rollercoaster Ride: Addiction, Music, and Recovery

I grew up in a really pretty normal, I guess, suburban American home...you know, I definitely started to feel early on that like something wasn't right.
Imagine growing up in a seemingly typical suburban American home, only to find yourself spiraling into addiction. That’s Shahjehan’s story. In this episode of 'QUALIFIED', Shahjehan opens up about his tumultuous journey through alcohol and weed addiction, a nervous breakdown, and severe depression. His struggle reached a breaking point with a suicide attempt while on tour with his band. Yet, Shahjehan’s tale is not just one of despair but of resilience and hope.
Despite the overwhelming challenges, including a relapse, he managed to claw his way back to sobriety. Music became his lifeline, offering him a way to connect with others and express his emotions in ways words couldn’t. This episode is a raw and inspiring reminder that even at our lowest, recovery is possible. Shahjehan’s story will resonate deeply with anyone facing similar battles or supporting loved ones through their own recovery journeys.
