You probably expect that the more sober time you have, the less you crave alcohol. That’s true for some people, but others experience an effect called incubation of craving. This is where cravings build up over time and peak around 60 days, then again around 6 months sober. In this episode, I’ll explain the research on incubation of craving, what you might experience, why this happens, and what you can do to stay sober.
What to listen to next:
E231: Everything You Need to Know About Alcohol Withdrawal
E247: Sober Sleep is the Best Sleep, But Not Right Away
E249: Alcohol and Cortisol: Increased Stress and Cravings
E265: Rewiring Your Reward System After Getting Sober
