H.A.L.T.: A Simple Tool to Tackle Addiction Cravings

When you want to relapse or you want to use, you want to get high...For me, anger was like the engine behind a lot of my using.
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. H.A.L.T. stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired—four states that can significantly influence our desire to use substances. 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. Hunger, he notes, can make us act irrationally, while loneliness can push us into isolation. And let's not forget tiredness, which can leave us vulnerable and less resilient. 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.
This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions and taking actionable steps towards recovery. So if you're looking for practical advice wrapped in relatable experiences, this episode is a must-listen.
