Judgment and Connection: Navigating Relationships in Recovery
If you have the integrity to be doing what is right, even though no one else is watching right, then you're living the highest version of yourself. You're going to want to connect because you're humble and you realize that we all have different experiences.
How often do our judgments shape the way we connect with others? In this thought-provoking episode of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse Mogle tackles the spiritual side of relationships and how our perceptions of others can either build bridges or erect walls. Jesse dives into the three pillars of addiction recovery: gratitude, humility, and integrity, and how these values can guide us toward healthier interactions.
He poses an essential question: Are the relationships in your life aligning with the new person you're becoming each day? Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Jesse explores the constant state of comparison we find ourselves in and how it impacts our self-view and connections with others. He emphasizes that whether we lift people up or put them down, both actions can be unhealthy if not balanced with a sense of equality.
Jesse encourages listeners to see themselves as equals to those around them, fostering genuine connections. This episode is a deep dive into self-reflection, urging you to consider if you'd rather be right or truly connect with those around you. It's an invitation to live with integrity, even when no one is watching, and to prioritize personal growth and self-care.
Tune in for an episode that challenges you to rethink how your judgments affect your relationships and offers strategies to build a more connected, fulfilling life in recovery.
