Ever thought about how emotions play a role in staying sober? In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', POP Buchanan dives into the concept of emotional sobriety and why it's essential for a lasting recovery.

He touches on common relapse triggers like unmanaged anger and the urge for quick fixes, offering practical advice on how to tackle them. POP emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and humility in recovery. He suggests seeking help from professionals, attending support groups, and incorporating practices like meditation and prayer.

Throughout the episode, you'll find valuable tips on communicating your struggles, whether by talking or writing them down.
