In this jam packed episode I chat with provisional psychologist Georgie Budini who has had ten years experience working with drug and alcohol addiction in prisons and in the community.  
We talked about riding the waves of cravings, mastering your nervous system,  feeling what needs to felt rather than avoiding the uncomfortable,  the importance of having a plan,  creating a sense of safety,  why sleep can be so crappy in early sobriety and so much more.
