Why You Still Have Cravings After Getting Sober

If you've ever wondered why you're still wanting to get high while sober, you're not alone. One of the hardest parts of recovery is realizing that getting clean doesn't instantly erase the memories or emotions connected to addiction.

In this video, I talk honestly about still wanting to get high while sober, why those thoughts can show up years into recovery, and the internal struggle of missing something that also caused so much pain. I also explain why still wanting to get high while sober doesn't automatically mean you want to relapse, and how nostalgia can trick your brain into remembering only the good moments.

Whether you're newly sober or have years clean, the experience of still wanting to get high while sober can feel isolating. My hope is that sharing my story helps you feel understood and reminds you that these thoughts don't define your recovery.
