The opposite of addiction is connection. Make tons of friends, make tons of connections, just grow, expand, expand, expand, expand. The first person that we seek to reconnect with on this journey from sobriety to recovery is going to be ourselves.
Imagine feeling completely alone, even in a room full of people. That's the isolating grip of addiction. In this episode of 'From Sobriety To Recovery', Jesse Mogle sheds light on how connection is the antidote to addiction's isolation. Jesse starts by painting a vivid picture of how addiction gradually narrows one's world until it feels like there's no way out.

Jesse draws from the experiences of a tribal member who works as a truck driver—a job that can be incredibly isolating. This story underscores the unique challenges faced by those in professions that naturally keep them apart from others. Yet, Jesse shows how even in such circumstances, fostering connections can be life-changing.
Throughout the episode, Jesse dives into different ways to create and maintain connections. From joining virtual workout classes to nurturing friendships across various stages of life, he emphasizes that connection isn't one-size-fits-all. He also touches on the importance of self-connection, urging listeners to become more self-aware and mindful of their internal dialogue. The episode doesn't shy away from life's uncertainties but instead highlights the power of hope and the daily opportunities to reconnect with oneself and others.
Jesse's reflections are both candid and inspiring, offering a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Whether you're battling addiction, on the path to recovery, or supporting a loved one, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that connection is a powerful force for healing and growth.
