E249: Alcohol and Cortisol: Extra Stress and Extra Cravings
Manage episode 443456602 series 2815261
Stress is a main reason many of us drink and it’s a big trigger for relapse after getting sober. In this episode you’ll learn all about cortisol- how it’s released, how chronic stress and heavy drinking disrupt our stress response, and when your stress response system may recover in sobriety. I’ll explain what happens with cortisol in withdrawal, in early sobriety, and give you a timeline for when this should normalize.
What to listen to next:
E204: can anyone get addicted to alcohol?
E199: frustration tolerance
