The term usually describes the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached, but here, it's used as a powerful metaphor for the lingering effects of addiction.
Even when the substance is out of your system, the psychological and emotional void it leaves can be just as palpable. Hosted by a team dedicated to shedding light on the complexities of sobriety, this episode dives deep into how former addicts cope with these ghostly sensations. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, listeners are taken on a journey to understand why these feelings persist and how to manage them.

Whether you're newly sober or years into your journey, 'Phantom Limb' provides a comforting reminder that you're not alone in feeling these invisible aches. What sets this episode apart is its focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery, often overlooked in favor of physical sobriety. It’s a must-listen for those seeking to understand the full spectrum of what it means to recover from addiction.
So, if you're looking for a blend of empathy, wisdom, and actionable tips, tune in and find out how to navigate the haunting remnants of your past.
