In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we’re talking about something that a lot of people overlook when it comes to addiction: anxiety. Anxiety isn’t just a side effect—it can actually be the root cause of why many people start using in the first place. Whether it’s panic attacks, social anxiety, constant overthinking, or just that feeling like something bad is always about to happen… anxiety can push people straight into the arms of drugs, alcohol, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms.

We discuss:

🔹 How anxiety shows up in early sobriety

🔹 Why untreated anxiety leads to relapse

🔹 What we’ve seen with clients struggling with both

🔹 Real tools and strategies to cope—without turning back to substances

We also reference real-life stories (our own and others') that show how powerful it is to face anxiety head-on—because until we deal with the anxiety, sobriety is always going to feel like a battle.

👉 If you or someone you love deals with anxiety and addiction, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
