À propos de cet audio

Early sobriety can feel like a rush of relief and excitement - the infamous “pink cloud” we hear about. But what happens when that high fades and you find yourself feeling flat, restless, or stuck in sobriety? In this honest and powerful conversation, Julie, Steve, Rachael, and Chad dig into the reality of plateaus in recovery, how to recognize them, and what it takes to move through - so you don't end up finding yourself slipping backward instead.

In This Episode

  • The pink cloud effect - why it feels so good at first, and why it eventually fades
  • How we confuse boredom with peace after living in chaos for so long
  • Chad’s raw story of breakup, therapy, and rediscovering his spark
  • The addictive side of “doing the work” and why action matters more than knowledge
  • How objective truth-tellers (friends, therapists, coaches) help us see what we can’t
  • Choosing responsibility over victim mode, even when life feels unfair
  • Practical tools to move from stagnation into growth

“If I feel bored or flat, I take responsibility - it’s my life, and if I’m bored, I’m not doing enough with it.”
