pink cloud
Sobriety's initial elation
Pink cloud refers to an early stage of addiction recovery characterized by intense optimism and euphoria.
The newly sober person feels invincible, convinced the hard part is over: She's on a pink cloud right now—three weeks clean and thinks she's cured.
Recovery communities warn that this phase often precedes relapse when reality reasserts itself.
