Get ready to dive deep into the tangled web of obsessive thoughts and emotional sobriety in this episode of 'Mental Obsession Discussion'. The hosts, Jack and Les, take you on a reflective journey through the complexities of compulsive behaviours and their impact on mental health.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with obsessive thoughts or seeking to understand the nature of emotional sobriety.
