15. Mastering Cravings — Tools You Actually Need on Your Sober Journey

Let’s be honest—cravings can feel so overwhelming in the moment. But the good news? You’re not powerless. In this episode of the Shannon McCabe Show, I’m walking you through the exact tools I’ve used (and still use) to ride out cravings and stay connected to the version of me I’m becoming.

Here’s what we cover:

✨ Why hitting pause is your superpower ✨ How to actually use the HALT method (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) ✨ Tips for staying nourished and hydrated (seriously—this matters more than you think) ✨ Tools like box breathing, EFT tapping, and “playing the tape forward” ✨ Why movement shifts your energy fast ✨ The role of accountability and why you don’t have to do this alone

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to come back to anytime you feel a craving coming on. Your cravings don’t mean you’re failing—just that your body and brain are used to old patterns. Let’s build new ones that actually lead to peace, confidence, and freedom.
