About this listen
We talk a lot about getting sober — but far less about what happens after the substances are gone.
In this episode, I break down emotional sobriety: what it really means, why so many people struggle emotionally even years into recovery, and how emotional overload often comes before relapse.
This isn’t about being calm all the time or “positive thinking.”
It’s about learning how to feel emotions without being controlled by them.
You’ll hear:
The difference between physical sobriety and emotional sobriety
Why emotional relapse often comes before physical relapse
Common emotional patterns in recovery that don’t get talked about
What emotional sobriety actually looks like in real life
Practical tools to help regulate emotions without numbing or escaping
If you’re sober but still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or emotionally exhausted — this conversation is for you.
Recovery isn’t just about not drinking.
It’s about learning how to live inside your own head and body — safely.
