| 0:00.0 | Have you ever been completely sure that you're done drinking and then a few hours or days later, |
| 0:06.8 | it suddenly doesn't feel like a big deal anymore? That shift can feel confusing and even scary, |
| 0:13.0 | like you've lost your commitment or changed your mind. In this episode, I'm breaking down |
| 0:18.4 | what's actually happening in your brain in those moments, |
| 0:22.3 | why your thinking changes, and why it feels so real when it does. |
| 0:27.3 | Once you understand this pattern, you'll see why trying harder hasn't worked and what actually |
| 0:33.1 | makes your commitment hold. |
| 0:35.2 | Now that we actually feel our stress instead of numbing it, the evenings |
| 0:39.8 | can hit a lot harder. You know that tired but wired feeling where you want to rest but your |
| 0:45.3 | brain just will not slow down? That's when I reach for Tenasi. Their CBD-CBDA formula has always |
| 0:52.6 | helped calm my nervous system when anxiety is preventing me from falling |
| 0:56.5 | asleep. |

| 1:00.2 | They added omega-3s which support brain health, mood, and inflammation. |
| 1:05.2 | As sober people, we spend so much time rebuilding our health from the inside out. |
| 1:10.0 | And while Tanasi can't help you with the |
| 1:12.2 | emotional work that you are doing in sobriety, they can help quiet stress so that you can rest, |
| 1:18.4 | and the omega-3s can help your brain and body recover from years of running on fumes. And if you're |
| 1:24.2 | not a soft gel person, then they also have gummies, tinctures, and more. |
| 1:28.3 | They're THC-free, easy to take, and part of my nightly wind-down routine. |
| 1:33.4 | Go to tenasi.com and use the code power to get 25% off. |
| 1:38.3 | That's t-a-n-a-si.com to get 25% off your first order with the promo code power. There's no one like you, and there never will be. From the producer of Bohemian Rhapsody. There were many legends, but there was only one. Michael in IMAX and Cinema's Wednesday, April 22. |
