We stop as a culture and society, deciding how people should be interacting with alcohol and, even more importantly, having our social connection time revolve around alcohol rather than it being something that can or cannot be included.
Ever wondered how someone's upbringing can shape their relationship with alcohol? In this episode of 'Recovery Plus Podcast', Dr. Mei-Li Hennen sits down with Jensen Morgan to discuss just that. Growing up in the Mormon culture of Salt Lake City, Utah, Jensen was taught to fear alcohol. It wasn't just a religious taboo; it was a family-enforced rule.
But as they grew older, Jensen started questioning these fear-based beliefs and began exploring what a healthy relationship with alcohol could look like for them. Fast forward to today, Jensen has experienced many ups and downs with alcohol. They still drink but do so with much more intention, taking regular breaks and focusing on self-care.
Jensen sees alcohol as a tool for celebration and relaxation but is cautious to avoid using it as a coping mechanism, something both they and their partner have struggled with in the past. Dr. Hennen and Jensen dive into the sober curious movement, discussing the growing popularity of non-alcoholic beverages and the psychological need to feel included. They also touch on the importance of vulnerability and honest communication in maintaining balance.
As if that wasn't enough, Jensen shares exciting plans for a year-long trip around the world and how they intend to approach alcohol during their travels. This episode offers a fresh perspective on navigating one's relationship with alcohol, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about living more intentionally and healthily. Tune in for a conversation filled with insights, personal stories, and practical advice.
