Pink Cloud

Definition

The intoxicating euphoria experienced by newly sober individuals who temporarily believe their life problems have magically vanished along with their substance use. Reality usually crashes the party within weeks when bills, job searches, and actual human relationships become relevant again.

Example Usage

Marcus just hit 30 days sober and won't stop talking about how perfect everything is now, but he's definitely on a pink cloud—he still owes three months rent.
