Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

E166: Cravings and Staying Stuck in Your Old Life with Angela Pugh


Listen Later

Cravings are a major challenge and in this special episode Angela Pugh, host of the Addiction Unlimited Podcast, and I teamed up to discuss cravings for alcohol. Angela and I have had very different experiences with cravings, so it was interesting for me to learn more about her perspective. In this episode we cover what our cravings were like, what helped us get through cravings without drinking, vacations before and after sobriety, how we handle being around drinkers and FOMO, non-alcoholic drinks, losing friends in sobriety, and so much more!

What to listen to next:

E77: are non-alcoholic drinks ok to drink?

E128: why are cravings so powerful?
