Summary
Cravings are a huge part of treading this sober path. This week the girls want to delve deeper into these pesky reminders of their past lives.
Let's face it, cravings are out to get you! They sneak up and tap you on the shoulder when you least expect it. They make you uncomfortable around alcohol and can cause you to slip up. Today Vic and Lucy want to find out if it's possible to predict cravings, prepare for them and accept them as just a part of going alcohol-free. In this funny and insightful episode you'll learn the science behind why your squishy brain still desires alcohol when sober, why you hanker after booze when hormonal, why having a fuzzy brain after 25 years of caning it is quite normal and loads of tips and tricks to stop you fantasising about your old buddy - booze. Oh, and find out why Vic is scared of hammocks!
