Push through the anxiety and the fear and you come out the other side thinking: well, that was okay, we didn't need the alcohol to cope with the anxiety and fear.
Ever wondered how anxiety plays into the journey of sobriety? Drifter takes you on a deep dive into this complex relationship in this episode of the Sobertown Podcast. Broadcasting from her home, while Corinna chats from a local park, they bring a mix of personal experiences and practical advice that feels like a friendly chat over coffee. Drifter starts by explaining how our ancient 'caveman brain' and adrenaline can fuel anxiety.
She breaks down the difference between pain that helps us grow and pain that holds us back. If you've ever been curious about the role of medications like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills, Drifter offers some eye-opening perspectives. And let's not forget caffeine – that beloved morning ritual can sometimes do more harm than good by spiking your anxiety levels. Drifter shares her own story of craving caffeine after quitting alcohol, making it relatable for anyone who's walked a similar path.
But it's not all about what to avoid; Drifter also dives into self-care strategies that can make a world of difference. From celebrating small victories to finding joy in everyday moments, she emphasizes the importance of gratitude and self-compassion. Journaling comes up as a powerful tool for processing thoughts and emotions, and Drifter encourages everyone to give it a try. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips to help you manage anxiety while staying sober.
It's like having a heart-to-heart with a friend who truly gets it.
