Episode Description

In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we're diving into that oh-so-fun moment when you stroll past the beer aisle at the grocery store, walk by a bar, or—God help us—watch the Raiders blow a 4th quarter lead again. Or maybe it’s the A’s trading away your favorite player for a sack of sunflower seeds. Whatever it is, your brain suddenly whispers, “Hey, remember that time we got blackout drunk and slow-danced with a cactus? Let’s do that again!”

We’ll cover what triggers are, why they suck, and how to handle cravings without ending up shirtless in a Taco Bell parking lot. Spoiler alert: cravings are normal, and no, you're not broken, you can take a break or quit alcohol!
