In this episode we discuss anhedonia, or what's commonly referred to as the "blah" feelings of early recovery for both the person coming out of substance abuse, as well as the spouse or partner. We cover the science behind anhedonia as well as what you can do to lessen its effects on your life and get back to feeling better. Many people report feeling "foggy", restless and fatigued, anxious, trouble feeling joy or excitement, and generally numb in early recovery. For many people this leads to relapse, but luckily it's temporary in the vast majority of cases. Likewise, spouses and partners of alcoholics and addicts go through a period of similar feelings as their loved one experiences these symptoms and they mourn the loss of a life they dreamed of as reality sets in. We've been there before and we've got your back through this.
Treehouse Recovery: Emotional Flatlining - How to deal with anhedonia
Addiction Explained, Rises & Falls in Dopamine: Dr. Andrew Huberman
