In this short video, Dallas Bragg warns that people who are newly sober often become "addicted" to sobriety milestones—such as counting chips, tracking days sober, regaining a driver's license, buying a car or house, getting a job, and reuniting with children. He explains that these achievements act as a dopamine replacement for the high previously obtained from substance use, providing a temporary "pink cloud" feeling. Bragg cautions that relying on these milestones is only a short‑term fix; eventually, the individual will feel bored and confront the deeper sense of "not enough" that originally drove the addiction. He urges viewers to look beyond external achievements, address the core emotional issues, and offers to discuss further via direct message.
