What It’s Like to Give In to a Craving

In last week’s newsletter (“<a href="https://exploringsobriety.substack.com/p/why-is-it-so-hard-to-quit-drinking" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Why Is It So Hard to Quit Drinking</a>?”), I wrote about what it feels like to have a craving for alcohol. This week is something of a follow-up, in which my goal is to describe what it’s like to give in to those cravings. Sadly, this is a topic in which I have all too much expertise. I’m very proud to have now been sober for over six years without a relapse, but my recovery didn’t always go so smoothly.
