In this episode, Dr. Dallas Bragg sits down with Craig Brucato, a certified professional life coach and former meth user, to explore what comes after abstinence from meth - and how to get unstuck when recovery feels mundane or directionless.

What You'll Learn:
The "Now What?" Dilemma

Why many people feel stuck after completing traditional recovery programs
How to move from surviving sobriety to thriving in life
The difference between being clean and being truly recovered

The Seven Levels of Energy
Craig introduces the IPEC Energy Leadership framework, explaining how we operate at different energy levels throughout the day - from victim energy (Level 1) to oneness with the universe (Level 7). Learn how to identify which level you're operating from and how to shift upward.
Transforming Your Relationship with Urges

Why the thought "I want to use" is actually valuable information
How to examine thoughts without judgment
Practical questions to ask yourself when cravings hit

Building Natural Life Force Energy
Three key components for raising your energy naturally:

Physical: Exercise and body care
Mental/Spiritual: Meditation and quiet reflection
Community: Connection and service to others

Beyond the Shame
Craig shares his personal journey from teenage meth use through chem sex addiction to becoming a successful life coach, proving that your past can become your purpose.
Key Takeaways:

Recovery isn't just about stopping drug use - it's about creating the life you actually want
You can choose your energy level and emotional response to any situation
The same drive that led to addiction can be channeled into creating an extraordinary life
Your darkest experiences can become your greatest gifts

Perfect for anyone who's gotten clean but still feels something is missing, or those supporting someone in long-term recovery.
