Sober but depressed #recoveryispossible #sobercommunity
In this monologue, Dallas Bragg explains why many people remain depressed even after achieving sobriety from substances like crystal meth. He argues that substance use often masks other co‑occurring addictions—such as sex addiction, chaos addiction, self‑pity, and love addiction—which surface once the drug’s numbing effect is removed. Standard drug‑treatment programs and 12‑step approaches typically focus only on the primary substance and therefore fail to address these underlying issues, leaving individuals feeling gray and unhappy. To resolve this, Bragg outlines his six‑month coaching program, which first eliminates the primary drug’s influence and then systematically unpacks and rewrites limiting beliefs tied to the hidden addictions, aiming to achieve lasting sobriety and genuine happiness.
