E311: Sugar Cravings in Sobriety: When Comfort Becomes a Crutch
About this episode
This episode explores the persistence of sugar cravings in sobriety and their connection to healing rather than just food.
Sugar cravings in early sobriety make sense. What many of us don’t expect is still needing something sweet months or even years later. In this episode, we’re going to unpack why that happens, what sugar is really doing for your nervous system, and why this phase has less to do with food and more to do with healing.
