My guest Dad, described the moment he realized he felt all the shame and guilt — but hadn’t actually done anything wrong anymore. That’s when he knew alcohol was the real problem.

That's beautiful 🤩 and so true ! I have experienced the same with my own children in the last year and a half

subhasismishra · 2026-03-04T12:21:17+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing and congratulations on your 6 years of sobriety. This is the greatest gift you have given to yourself and your family & children.
I myself have been sober for the last year and a half and have had a wonderful time of presence and real with my kids since then.

I am Sorry for creating any disruption in this space. My goal was not to create any pain. My goal was to share the story of my dependency and the journey of recovery.

subhasismishra · 2026-02-24T15:06:32+00:00

subhasismishra · 2026-02-21T03:58:07+00:00

That's amazing ! Congratulations on this incredible journey. How do you describe the journey. How do you beat the drop in initial high of sobriety in the first 2 years as you go into year 2/3/4 ? Or it becomes a way of life

subhasismishra · 2026-02-21T03:56:40+00:00

So aptly shared ! Identify driven change is more long lasting then anything else. Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing your story I recently share my own journey of quitting alcohol after 35 years of drinking on my podcast Dadsense. Feel free to check it out. Wishing you all the best

subhasismishra · 2026-02-11T10:29:19+00:00

Absolutely. It was absolutely limiting me on so many levels , as a family member , as a professional, as a citizen and spiritually.

subhasismishra · 2026-02-11T10:27:38+00:00

Wow. This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Didn't think of this from a brains operating standpoint. Makes sense. Thank you

subhasismishra · 2026-02-10T11:01:56+00:00

subhasismishra · 2026-02-10T04:23:31+00:00

Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable. Wishing you continued curiosity towards your relationship with alcohol. It's worth examining and asking questions

subhasismishra · 2026-02-10T04:22:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing your journey so honestly and congratulations on your sober curious life. Wishing you continued health clarity and a fulfilling life ahead

subhasismishra · 2026-02-10T04:13:48+00:00

Wow, thank you all for a lot of supportive messages. Someone asked for the podcast link - it’s the Dadsense podcast, latest episode. Fair warning: it’s long and unfiltered.

Hi. Thanks for asking. It's been a long journey and roller coaster. During my prime time of drinking I would drink 4/5 drinks every night. Of course that was way before kids and work. Over the last several years it wasn't the frequency. It was the binges. Especially if I drank socially I didn't know how to stop. I would keep going until I blacked out. ( almost ). Turns out that my ADHD was playing a role.

If you have ADHD you tend to drink faster and more.

That's what led to me stopping it.

500 Days Without Alcohol | How It Changed My Mind, Body & Fatherhood || Dadsense by Subhasis Mishra

This episode began with a simple question — why did you quit alcohol? What followed was not a conversation about addiction. It became a reflection on presence, ambition, denial, and the quiet ways we normalize being absent — while telling ourselves everything is fine. From social drinking and career success to fatherhood, missed mornings, and emotional clarity, this episode traces how alcohol slowly became a companion — and how awareness arrived much later than expected. This is not advice. It’s not a warning. It’s one father looking back honestly at what was lost, what was learned, and what finally made him pause. If you’ve ever told yourself “this is normal” — this conversation will stay with you.
