Where did the name The Pink Cloud Collective come from?
The ‘pink cloud’ is a term used to describe the early period of recovery from drug or alcohol abuse. It's characterized by a period of intense feelings of happiness, hope, and optimism that can last for days, weeks, or months. People in the pink cloud phase feel good mentally and physically, and are often excited and confident about their recovery.
The pink cloud is a common part of the recovery journey, and is recognized by many in the recovery community, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). However, not everyone experiences the pink cloud in the same way. Some people may skip this phase entirely, while others may only experience it briefly.
For me, the pink cloud has been ongoing since I quit drinking in March of 2024. I feel invigorated, inspired and even euphoric about my new lease on life, every single day.
I am human, so of course I experience a broad range of emotions. It can’t always be rainbows and butterflies. Unfortunately bad days, heartbreak and loss are part of the human experience. It’s important to remember that the best moments in life are made much sweeter by the difficult parts.
But for the most part…
Alcohol-freedom for me, is a version of life seen through rose-colored lenses. When I think about my former existence as a gray area drinker and how stuck, alone and even sick I felt at times, my new alcohol-free life is a sparkly, technicolor dream come true.
And better yet.. I really love the person I have become since releasing alcohol for good. I bring fierce main character energy to everything I do.
A collective is “a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest or work together to achieve a common objective.”
And so, The Pink Cloud Collective was born. Subscribe here.
