Why Can't I Feel Happy in Recovery?

If you're sober but everything feels empty or meaningless, this video explains the science behind anhedonia and why your brain needs time to heal. We'll explore:

• What anhedonia really is and why it's so common in recovery

• The brain chemistry behind lost pleasure and emotional numbness

• Why recovery can feel boring compared to the chaos of addiction

• How your brain naturally heals with the right support and time

• Evidence-based approaches that help restore your capacity for joy

Recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about rediscovering what makes life meaningful. At Wish Recovery, we recognize that healing encompasses both proper brain chemistry and emotional well-being.

You don't have to navigate this alone. Our comprehensive programs address every aspect of anhedonia, helping you rebuild genuine happiness in sobriety.
