Send us a textOn this episode of the Sober Friends podcast, we dive deep into the idea that kindness isn't some fluffy, feel-good concept—it's a legit recovery tool. We talk about how hard it can be to receive kindness when we first come in, why it's often toughest to be kind to the people closest to us, and how practicing kindness—especially when it's not our default—can transform our relationships and our sobriety. There's honesty, laughter, and a few tough-love truths in here, plus stories about caring for loved ones, being of service, and learning to meet people where they are without losing ourselves in the process. This isn't about perfection—it's about progress, grace, and finding strength in being gentle.Support the show

Mastering Emotions: The Secret Curve No One Teaches You (Episode 169)  Have you ever felt overwhelmed and emotionally numb — like you can't name what you're feeling, let alone express it? Maybe you've relapsed or shut down and thought, “What's wrong with me?” The truth is, it's not about willpower — it's about emotional literacy. In this powerful episode, we unpack the hidden emotional roots of relapse, addiction, and disconnection. You'll learn why so many of us were never taught how to feel, and how that disconnect plays a huge role in mental health and recovery.

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode, we take a deep and compassionate look at the hidden emotion of resentment—the bitterness, hurt, and injustice we carry long after a moment has passed. Resentment can quietly shape our relationships, thoughts, and inner peace without us even realizing it. Through the lens of Soul Recovery, I explore how this emotion often masks deeper wounds like grief, abandonment, and unmet expectations. Together, we uncover how to recognize resentment not as a flaw, but as a sacred invitation to healing. I share personal stories, psychological insights, and spiritual practices to help you shift the narrative, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim your power with compassion and grace.

Recovery Matters Podcast Episode 167 | Tajay's story begins with a life-changing arrest, leading him to outpatient treatment and, ultimately, to CCAR. He didn't initially seek recovery—it found him. While in IOP, he struggled with staying sober, turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. However, deep down, he knew he wanted more for himself. His commitment to trying something differentled him to school, where a conversation about psychology unexpectedly introduced him to the idea of becoming a recovery coach. This opened the door to a new world, and through CCAR, Tajay found the support, structure, and inspiration to rebuild his life.One of the most significant changes in his recovery journey was reevaluating friendships and relationships. He realized that many of his past connections were built around substance use, and changing his circle was necessary. He now values friendships based on mutual respect and personal growth rather than peer pressure or partying. Relationships, particularly romantic ones, remain tricky, especially when dating someone who isn't in recovery. However, he emphasizes the importance of healthy communication and setting boundaries.Education played a crucial role in his transformation. What started as a simple way to stay busy turned into a passion. Tajay became deeply involved on campus, founding the Legacy Club to help students network, connect, and take their careers seriously from day one. His belief that “it's not just what you know, but who you know” helped him secure opportunities, despite not yet having a degree. He encourages students to build relationships, take advantage of resources, and stay open to new possibilities.Beyond education, Tajay found purpose in entrepreneurship and music. His first venture, a clothing brand focused on positive affirmations, gave him his first taste of running a business. While it was a learning experience, it laid the foundation for his current passion—creating and promoting music. Initially hesitant, he pushed past self-doubt and began sharing his music on social media, even shooting a music video for one of his songs, Love Life. His new goal is to combine music, merch, and motivation, using his platform to inspire others.Throughout the conversation, Tajay emphasizes that recovery is not easy, but it's worth it. He describes recovery as "armor"—something that protects him from life's hardships. He acknowledges that early recovery is overwhelming, especially when emotions come rushing back after years of numbing pain with substances. However, he encourages anyone on the fence about recovery to stick with it. His biggest message? "Don't quit before the miracle happens."Tajay's life is proof that even when things seem impossible, recovery can open doors you never imagined.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Tajay's background02:00 – Getting arrested & his first steps into recovery06:00 – How addiction shaped his friendships & how he had to change his circle10:00 – Finding education as a new path & becoming a leader on campus14:00 – The "Get Out of Here" mindset vs. realizing it's about changing yourself18:00 – Entrepreneurship, music, and using creativity in recovery23:00 – The moment he knew he had to go all in on sobriety28:00 – What he'd say to someone struggling: “Don't quit before the miracle happens.” ----Across the Web----

Ep #314: Neuro-Linguistic Programming. If you are a mentor, life or addiction recovery coach, and/or sponsor - this episode is the message you have been waiting for. You know how you talk to people and you feel like your message isn't getting across? The main problem is that we can not force someone to act. We can not make that horse drink. We know, deep inside, "You cannot shame someone into action, only inspire them into change" (Aubrie Pohl). Imagine your leadership, mentorship, sponsorship, and LIFE as guided by your own internal strength toward your life's mission! Is my NLP class the only way? NO. It is not. And yet, it is the way that saved my life. It has saved countless lives. I know there is an aspect of your life that you are starving to change. I know there are people in your life who are starving for your guidance. For your best self. For you to ask that question that topples their limiting beliefs because in that question you inspire them to motivate themselves to tear down their walls.

Ep #313: Self-awareness is a beautiful thing, but you want to monitor how you experience it: first-person through your own eyes, second-person through another person's eyes, or third-person through that observer's eyes. When we go to make a change, we experience that part of ourselves through one of these points of view. That starting, stopping, and changing we seek in our lives will attach itself to a secondary gain that we may not even be aware of yet - and then we wonder why that thing we desire to release keeps sticking around.

Ep #312: Procrastination will eat alive from the insides. What is it that you are really procrastinating from doing? You might think it is starting the thing, doing the thing, changing the thing, or stopping the thing - but upon further review, there is a lot more at play when we postpone the starting, doing, changing, or stopping the thing that we have been thinking, feeling, and probably ruminating on for quite a bit of time. In this episode, we are going to dive into what makes me, you, us, procrastinate and how we can identify what is really at the root of the postponement so we can increase self-awareness about ourselves, take action from that grounded surface, and evaluate the results so that maybe, just maybe, next time we get right into rather than letting time slip through our fingers. Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place, at the right time—right now. ******************************************** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW, RATE, AND REVIEW my show on your preferred streaming app. Every little bit helps this show reach those who need it most. ******************************************** Please support the show (I'm a one-man band over here) Free ebooks and links for coaching and the like: https://stan.store/jessemogle Buy me a coffee to keep me going:  http://buymeacoffee.com/jessemogle Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jessemogle ******************************************** Website: https://www.jessemogle.com Please email me: fromsobrietytorecovery@gmail.com ******************************************** Complimentary 30-minute call with me: callcoachjesse.com Tik Tok: http://www.tiktok.com/@jessemogle Instagram: https://instagram.com/fromsobrietytorecovery LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessemogle/ From Sobriety to Recovery Podcast: https://www.jessemogle.com/fromsobrietytorecovery/ College Success Habits Podcast: https://www.jessemogle.com/collegesuccesshabitspodcast/ ********************************************  Join the From Sobriety to Recovery Tribe: https://www.jessemogle.com/thehub/ ********************************************   It is time.

Have you noticed that the more you try to control your drinking, the harder it feels to control?   It's assumed that the only way to prevent over-drinking is no-drinking. If you can't stop once you start, don't start.    But science shows that people who identify as “sober alcoholics” are much more likely to relapse into binge drinking. Because they identify as diseased or damaged all-or-nothing people.    And sobriety is the “nothing” in the all-or-nothing cycle.    Alcohol use disorder isn't a drinking problem, it's a thinking problem. Which makes it a mental health issue. The story you're telling yourself about your relationship with alcohol doesn't make any sense. Somehow, drinking has become both the problem and the solution.    In this episode, I'll give you four scientific reasons why abstinence is not the cure for alcohol use disorder. And explain why emotional sobriety is the path to freedom. Because if you felt more powerful and at ease in your life, you would naturally drink like someone who feels that way.   —Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober.
