The Sober Scoop

alcoholics love instant gratification


Listen Later

A lot of times, our "addiction" is not to alcohol itself, but rather the need for dopamine and comfort. We're addicted to saying yes to something that will bring immediate joy/ pleasure. As soon as we can learn to deny ourselves that instant gratification and stay focused on our long term goals, sobriety (and life in general) become easier!

Controlling our impulses benefits us in more ways than one: our sobriety, diet, fitness, anger management, cleanliness... and in today's episode we're talking about it ALL. This one skill we learn in sobriety applies to so many things in life.
