Ever felt an overwhelming urge to drink or use, but couldn't pinpoint why? In this episode of 'The Sober Plug', Connor Duffy introduces the H.A.L.T. method, a straightforward yet powerful tool to help you understand and manage those cravings.

Connor dives into each aspect, explaining how recognizing and addressing these feelings can lead to healthier choices and prevent relapse.
He shares personal stories about his own battles with anger and loneliness, highlighting how these emotions fueled his addiction.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Connor emphasizes the importance of seeking support from those who have walked the same path and the value of self-care practices like proper nutrition and sleep.
