About this listen

This isn’t another story about addiction or surfing. Those are just parts of the story, a story of recovery, redemption, and adventure.

With unflinching honesty, A Life of Opposing Forces highlights the complicated but enduring relationship Michael Millin has with his parents as he navigates the interplay of light and dark in his own life. Michael shares his path from addiction to sobriety, challenging his own assumptions of recovery and confronting generational trauma.

In the process, Michael exposes the reader to the incredible world of surfing and traveling. Throughout his journey, surfing has always provided a safe space for Michael. The ocean was more than an escape; it was medicine—and the key to his survival.

A captivating memoir and profound portrait of disrupting generational trauma, A Life of Opposing Forces is a must-listen whether you are struggling with addiction or looking for inspiration in your own life.

An Unforgettable Journey of Struggles, Surfing, and Spiritual Awakening!

A Life of Opposing Forces” is an absolute triumph of storytelling—a raw, gripping, and profoundly inspiring exploration of the human spirit. This book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the highs of surfing’s exhilarating freedom, the crushing lows of addiction, and the ultimate redemption found in recovery and spirituality.

The author’s ability to weave these deeply personal and often harrowing experiences into a narrative that is both relatable and transformative is nothing short of masterful. The descriptions of surfing are so vivid and poetic that I could almost see the waves breaking and hear their roar. At the same time, the honest and unflinching portrayal of addiction and its ripple effects on relationships, family, and self-worth is heartbreakingly real.

What truly sets this book apart, though, is its message of hope. Despite the darkness of dysfunctional family dynamics and personal struggles, the story shines with moments of spiritual awakening, self-discovery, and resilience. The journey to recovery feels authentic and deeply moving, offering a beacon of light for anyone who has faced—or is facing—similar battles.

I was utterly captivated from start to finish. A Life of Opposing Forces isn’t just a book—it’s an experience that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page. Whether you’re drawn to stories of personal triumph, spirituality, or simply love the soul-stirring beauty of surfing, this book has something for you.

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must-read!
