E191: Going Back and Forth Makes Your Cravings Stronger Sober Powered

Many of us go back and forth while we’re trying to stop drinking. You might get 4 or 5 days in, then drink again and repeat this process many times. Obviously, less drinking days are better for your health, but drinking during the withdrawal stage actually intensifies your cravings making it harder to stop next time. In this episode you’ll learn how withdrawal impacts the associations your brain makes with alcohol and how this keeps us stuck in denial about our drinking.
What to listen to next:
E62: dopamine deep dive
E91: do you want to be sober or do you want to drink without the consequences?
E187: multiple cycles of withdrawal
