From Liquor to Dhikr

📓 Show Notes – Episode 1: From Liquor to Dhikr

In this inaugural episode, I sit down with Yahya Abdul Alim Coats, a lifelong seeker and student of Islamic spirituality with over three decades of experience on the path. The conversation is unfiltered, honest, and full of lived insight.

Bear with the audio—I'm a better host than a sound engineer. What we may lack in polish, we make up for in presence.

It’s real. It’s raw. It’s recovery.
