When you make these choices for yourself be mindful of inviting others into your decision-making process. They will have their own mindset around what you are doing based on the experiences from their life.
Ever felt like everyone has an opinion on your recovery journey? In Episode 92 of 'From Sobriety To Recovery', Jesse Mogle dives into the delicate art of decision-making while on the path to sobriety. Jesse draws from his own experiences to highlight the crucial difference between merely quitting a substance and truly healing from the underlying trauma that fueled the addiction in the first place.
He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a growth mindset, practicing humility, and embodying gratitude and integrity to foster lasting change. But here's the kicker: Jesse warns against letting others' opinions seep into your decision-making process.

Through his signature blend of humor and wisdom, Jesse encourages listeners to stay true to their own paths and make choices that align with their personal goals. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to strengthen their resolve and navigate the tricky waters of external influences in recovery.
