Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the gnarliest, most real, addiction, recovery, and mental health podcast on the internet. In today’s episode, we’re diving into: What happens when the high of sobriety wears off and the real shit hits — depression. Yeah, that dark cloud that creeps in once the chaos quiets down. It’s raw, it’s real, and most of us don’t talk about it enough. But guess what? We are today.
SPOILER ALERT: Getting sober doesn’t magically fix your mind. In fact, sometimes it exposes everything you were trying to outrun with your drug of choice. Depression after sobriety is real as hell, and this episode is all about calling it out, not sugarcoating it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• What post-sobriety depression feels like when the pink cloud fades
• How we used addiction to mask depression and pain
• Why it hits so hard once we finally get clean
• Real ways to face that shit head-on without falling back into old habits
• My personal story dealing with the dark after the detox
• And the blunt truth: if you don’t deal with it, it will deal with you
So pull up, get comfy, and let’s talk about the shadow side of healing... no filters, no bullshit. Just real talk from someone who’s been there. 🛋️
