Manage episode 522974022 series 3560763
Ever hit that weird stretch in early sobriety where everything feels flat, restless, and “off”… even though you’re months past the cravings?
In this Sanctuary Saturday episode, we dig into the emotional roller coaster that shows up around months 4–6 of early sobriety — the phase where the high of quitting wears off, your nervous system starts recalibrating, and your old coping habits try to sneak back in through boredom, sugar, scrolling, or anything that gives your brain a hit.
In this episode, you'll
- uncover why this flat season is actually proof that you’re waking up to your real self.
- recognize how fear, not laziness, hides underneath your “I’m bored” story.
- identify the patterns that pull you toward replacement habits (sugar, scrolling, hobbies, distractions).
- map out a new way to navigate this phase using intention, inspiration, and something meaningful to look forward to.
Hit play to understand exactly what the flat phase means — and learn how to move through it with purpose, clarity, and grounded energy as you build a life you don’t need alcohol to escape from.
