If you are "comfortable" with stalls and unusual attitudes and don't
understand spins, I would suggest that you get some spin training or at
least a better understanding of spins immediately.
Feeling "comfortable" with unusual attitudes without a corresponding
knowledge of spins can be an extremely dangerous combination.
I would suggest strongly that you immediately begin feeling less
"comfortable" with unusual attitudes, or get some basic spin recovery
training as soon as possible. These two items are inseparable.

Especially when over recovering from a spin and initiating another in
the opposite direction or at worst inverted...
Spin training should be mandatory so the pilot knows what to stay away
