“The most important concept of all the spiritual teachings that I've read about, and all the AA that I've gone to, and all the people with decades of sobriety that I've listened to, the one constant thing that I think is the most important thing is just fucking relax and try to keep it in the day.”
Mike T's story is anything but ordinary.

He talks about the turning points that led him to seek help, including stints in rehab and jail, and the spiritual teachings that helped him stay sober. One of his biggest lessons? Learning to 'just fucking relax' and live one day at a time. If you're looking for an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of addiction recovery, Mike T's story is a must-listen.
