Triggers, Cravings, and Using Dreams: Insights from Coach Blu and Marissa

It's not the relapse, it's what you do with it.
Ever wonder why certain situations make you crave a drink or how your dreams might be trying to tell you something about your recovery? In this engaging episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson and Athletic Director Marissa dive into the nitty-gritty of triggers, cravings, and using dreams. They break down how seemingly harmless stimuli can set off a chain reaction leading to cravings and potentially, relapse.
But it’s not all doom and gloom—Coach Blu and Marissa offer practical advice on recognizing these warning signs early and taking proactive steps to stay on track. One of the standout moments in this episode is their discussion on 'relapse autopsy', a method for identifying triggers and warning signs before they spiral out of control. It's a bit like being your own detective, finding clues that help you understand what sets off your cravings and how to manage them effectively.
They also touch on the often overlooked but incredibly powerful role of using dreams—those vivid dreams where you find yourself drinking or using again. These dreams can be unsettling, but understanding them can offer valuable insights into your subconscious mind. Coach Blu and Marissa don't just stop at identifying problems; they emphasize the importance of creating new, positive memories and surrounding yourself with supportive people.
They highlight how changing your environment and mindset can make a world of difference in your recovery journey. This episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery. So if you're curious about why you feel the way you do and how to regain control over your cravings, tune in. This episode offers a fresh perspective that could make all the difference in your journey to sobriety.
