Beyond Labels: Discovering Your True Self in Recovery
I am just beautifully imperfect and I've loved and I've learned, and I've laughed and I've cried, and I've buried emotions and I've expressed them in numerous ways.
Who are we if we're not defined by our past actions or current roles? In episode #143 of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse Mogle dives into this profound question, challenging the labels we often use to identify ourselves. Jesse argues that these labels—whether they pertain to our addiction, career, or even our physical attributes—can box us in and limit our potential for growth and recovery.
Through a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights, he encourages listeners to embrace their imperfections and release the identifiers that no longer serve them. Jesse also touches on the impact of trauma on addiction and the crucial differences between mere sobriety and active recovery. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that we are more than the sum of our labels.
If you're on a journey of self-discovery and looking to break free from limiting beliefs, this conversation is for you.
