E233: What Happens When the Pink Cloud Fades?
In early sobriety, everything feels possible. You’re sleeping better, your skin looks great, and the world seems full of hope—that’s the “pink cloud.” But what happens when that high starts to fade?
In this episode of the Sober Friends podcast, Matt and Steve dive into the emotional crash that can come after the early euphoria wears off. We talk about why it happens (hello, brain chemistry), how to prepare for it, and what tools you’ll need to stay sober when life gets messy again. From getting a sponsor to finding a community, this conversation is full of real-life experience and practical advice to help you navigate the hard parts—and keep your recovery strong when the cloud lifts.
Whether you’re on the pink cloud or watching it drift away, this episode is for you.
