Are these harmless thoughts or do they lead to relapse?

In this episode, you'll learn what's going on in your brain when you romanticize alcohol,

how this can make being sober more challenging, and three ways to break the romanticizing loop.

I'll share a story from four years ago about when I romanticized alcohol, how I used tools in that moment,

and what the same situation would look like for me today so that you can have a clear picture

of how things evolve over time. And before we dig in, I'd like to take a moment to thank my

sponsors who made this episode possible. You've heard sober sleep is the best sleep, but we have to get through night sweats, insomnia,

and frequent wake-ups to get there.

Even after that part ends, I know I didn't take care of my bedroom environment at all.

We had this older, firm mattress that felt like it was breaking my back in half every night. I hated it, but it always felt like

too much trouble to replace it. Then I heard about bear mattress. It showed up in a tall skinny

box and unrolled in just a few minutes. Their sleep quiz matched me with the Bear Elite hybrid.

And it's cool because it's firm for my lower back and hips

and plush everywhere else. It cushions my hips without sinking, aligns my spine, and stays cool

all night. And sleep on it for up to 120 nights to make sure you love it. And if you're not getting

the best sleep of your life, they will pick it up and refund you, no problem.

contact sport sometimes, and when we're sober, that can feel overwhelming. Now the stress and anxiety

can start to build up while we're working on our tools to self-regulate, but it can feel like a lot.

That's why I love Tenasi and the range of products
