Every day is the best day of our lives because we wake up sober, especially on Bourbon Street. Glow on. Bye-bye.
Picture this: Bourbon Street, New Orleans – a place known for its vibrant nightlife and, let's be honest, some of the wildest scenes you can imagine. Jesse Mogle, host of 'From Sobriety To Recovery', takes us on a personal journey through this infamous locale, reflecting on how his time there has reshaped his understanding of impulse control and recovery. With 22 years of addiction behind him, Jesse's insights are both raw and enlightening.
He talks about how living through his emotional mind led to poor impulse control and a lack of awareness about the consequences of his actions. This episode dives into the concept of the triune brain, explaining how our reptilian and mammalian brains can lead us down paths we'd rather avoid. Jesse also sheds light on the roles of dopamine and serotonin in driving impulsive decisions.
But it’s not all science; Jesse’s narrative is peppered with personal anecdotes that make these concepts relatable. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable lessons on resilience and the importance of environment in maintaining sobriety. It's a heartfelt reminder that recovery is a journey, not a destination.
