If you don't learn how to control your cravings, you will relapse. So tip number one: recognize your triggers. Besides recognizing your triggers, you need to plan ahead. Accept the fact that you're going to have cravings. But just because you have it don't mean you have to go and use. Learn to find distractions and replacements for the things you like to do when you're using drugs or alcohol.
What happens when you’re faced with the things that tempt you most? In this episode of Urge Fix, Dr. Cyntrell Crawford dives into the complex world of triggers and cravings that many face on their journey to sobriety. These triggers can be anything from a familiar place to a specific person, all capable of reigniting the urge to use. Dr. Crawford offers practical advice on how to identify these triggers and develop a plan to handle them when they arise.
She emphasizes that cravings are a natural part of recovery but assures listeners that they don't have to give in to them. Instead, she suggests finding healthy alternatives and distractions to fill the void left by substance use. A key highlight is her explanation of dopamine's role in addiction, helping listeners understand why cravings happen and how to manage them effectively.
This episode is a treasure trove of actionable strategies designed to help you stay on track and build a life free from addiction. Tune in and take the first step towards mastering your triggers and cravings.
